Adelmo che voleva essere Settimo

Adem who wanted to be Seventh

 The debut in children’s fiction by Daniele Mencarelli, award winning author of the celebrated Everything calls for Salvation, from which was based the highly acclaimed Netflix series.

For as long as he can remember, Adelmo has had one great dream: to become Seventh. Or rather, to have that name—so that he could finally be recognized as part of the family by his older brothers, who have always excluded him. After all, they are named First, Second, Third, and so on, while he is just Adelmo. And they have plenty of reasons to resent him: his name, to begin with, but also the fact that he is their mother’s favorite, the only one who had the privilege of studying, and the one with a sensitivity they could never understand. In short, he is different. His brothers, never included him in their decisions—not even when they left home during a famine, setting off in search of fortune and leaving him behind. But one day, to fulfill his mother’s final wish, Adelmo sets off on a journey to find them, scattered across the kingdoms. What follows is an epic adventure that will test him in ways he never imagined. But through these trials, he will also discover who he truly is and what really matters in life.

A touching contemporary fairy tale, an epic hero’s journey with a fantastic medieval inspired setting.

A fantastic adventure about courage and the search for one’s own identity made of trials to overcome, kingdoms to cross, worlds to discover.

阿德尔莫想成为老七

这是丹尼尔·门卡雷利首次尝试面向年轻读者的作品。丹尼尔·门卡雷利是一位备受赞誉的作家，其作品《完全救赎》被改编成热门网飞剧集，赢得了广泛关注。

从记事起，阿德尔莫只有一个大大的愿望：成为老七。

其实，他想要这个名字，只是想让哥哥们把他当成家里的一份子。因为他们的名字是老大、老二、老三……而他叫阿德尔莫。哥哥们不喜欢他的理由很多：他的名字，他是妈妈最宠爱的孩子，他有唯一有机会读书，还有阿德尔莫身上他们无法理解的敏感。总之，他和大家不一样。

他的哥哥们从不让他参与家里的决定，甚至在饥荒来临时，他们也把他一个人留下，自己去外面闯荡。直到有一天，为了完成妈妈的遗愿，阿德尔莫踏上了寻找兄弟的旅程。就这样，他开始了一场精彩的冒险，在这段旅程中，阿德尔莫不仅重新认识了自己，也明白了什么才是真正重要的东西。

这是一个感人的当代童话，一个有中世纪风格的英雄故事。

一场关于勇气与自我认同的奇幻冒险，途中经历重重考验、穿越不同王国、探索未知的世界。
