” It’s not easy to be eleven. When you are eleven, you get your first hairs, for example, or you get beaver teeth and your feet get bigger and longer”… Adalberto reflects, the main character of the book which has made Angela Nanetti famous.
In this story you don’t find extraordinary events, but every day ones: from a football match to a medical exam by a young and fair doctor, from the first black eye from fight with his friend to the first porno magazine… It’s unusual to find such a pleasant and amusing book, with the advantage that it may become a very good example for a discussion with your own son.
