Giovanni, almost 13 years old, would have preferred spending his Christmas holidays in the mountains, snowboarding down snowy slopes. Instead, he finds himself at a massive resort in the Caribbean Sea.
“Only because my dad got a prize trip from his company.”
The sea is magnificent, the beach dazzling white, music everywhere - nothing is missing. A perfect postcard setting. And yet, for Giovi, the heat and the time difference are a real bother.
When everything seems to be going wrong, a mystery unexpectedly appears. Behind a palm tree… no pirates, no treasure - just the shadow of a dark-skinned boy.
A Christmas in the Caribbean, which at first appears boring, turns out to hold surprising twists.
An engaging story, told in the first person through the pages of a diary that’s not exactly secret. Ten days in the lives of two boys from different cultures, seven thousand kilometers apart.
Two hearts, two worlds, one single wish: to become friends and help each other through the powerful, profound, true, and innocent love of youth, which often knows how to inspire even adults.
“I finally have a peer (mysterious though he may be) who might become a friend - am I really going to let that slip away?”
“Nou se Zanmi.”
