I DIAMANTINI - GREAT AUTHORS FOR SMALL READERS

A story of growth and courage from a famous Italian author of children fiction: Guido Sgardoli, awarded three times the Andersen Prize. With the wonderful illustrations of Alessandro Sanna, also Andersen Prize.


Alberto is eleven and he is fond of the mountains. When his father invites him on a hike together, the boy is very excited.  The adventure in the natural world is incredible, among tall trees, mysterious animals and hidden paths, till something unexpected happens. The father of Alberto falls into a crevasse and the boy  is suddenly alone. Alone in nature, alone on the mountains, alone in the cold, while the sun goes down quickly. Alberto thus starts his difficult way to summon assistance: because he is the only one who can rescue his father.  A story of growth, full of poetic moments and with a gentle and moving ending.
