Una strana compagna di banco. Streghetta
Strange things are happening in Miriam’s class. Someone’s hair catches fire, someone’s teeth turn blue. And a storm breaks out during the maths test. Could Priscilla Applepot, the new girl next to her, be responsible?• A fun way of talking about the themes of friendship and accepting diversity.• Priscilla is an inexperienced little witch and her emotions always get her into trouble. Miriam is intrigued and amused by the magical world, but she’s also a little scared of it sometimes, because it’s difficult to fully understand. By experiencing each other’s worlds, the two will learn more and enjoy an unforgettable adventure.
Gisella Laterza started working with the Corriere della Sera newspaper, in the Bergamo office, when she was at university. An editor advised her: “If you want to do this job well, you have to hunt for stories, step after step, wearing your shoes out.” Since then, she has never stopped writing and travelling. If possible, on foot and, if possible, getting lost. In 2018, she was selected in the A Caccia di Storie (Do you have a Story?) competition and started working for Book on a Tree.
