Opis

Stand by Me meets the Goonies...in Italy.

ITALY, 1990. twelve-year-old LEDA is a bookworm and a tomboy. As her world splits into girls and boys, she can't seem to fit anywhere.

On the background of the 14th FIFA soccer world cup, Leda embarks on a new series of side-splitting-laughter adventures dealing with hormones, periods, zesty boys, and her own fears in what will be the best summer of her life. The guy to win her nerdy heart will be the most unlikely one...

Set against the gorgeous backdrop of Sardinia, the Dolomites, and Tuscany, this humorous yet insightful journey through first love, friendship, and first kisses will leave you breathless, marveling at the customs of a country most people think they know.

"Let me start off by saying this book was amazing The author has a unique writing style. She transports you back in time to when you were younger. She tells things like they are and isn't afraid to talk about certain subjects. This book is great for teens as it speaks with experience about what thoughts enter their heads, but also great for adults who may have forgotten what teens have to go through." Tori Hoffert
