L’ultima volta che siamo stati bambini

You need to be a fool to rebel against the laws of war. Or a kid.
A powerful, emotional novel, with contagiously sparkling characters that will live in the heart of readers long after the last page.
Cosimo, Italo and Vanda are barely ten years old, with their dreams, wanderlust and carefree innocence strained by World War II. While the entire country is struggling to survive, the children, after the disappearance of a friend, have no doubts about what is needed to be done: a rescue mission.
Their escape leads to a second, desperate mission, one that includes a nun and a convalescent soldier who immediately run after them. The hope of catching up with the runaway children in a few hours ends up being an unforgivable mistake.
Equipped with childhood’s quintessential carelessness, a friendship that gets stronger every day, and a mysterious map, Cosimo, Italo and Vanda take their mission forward with determination, between reckless adventures and a longing for freedom for which they will pay the highest price.
