            THE NEW ONE
            by Silvia Vecchini and Sualzo

            All the toys are on edge: a new one’s
            arrived, and it’s obvious straight away
            that there’s no competing with him. Kid
            has eyes for him alone, and his older
            toys are afraid he’ll soon forget all about
            them. Their apprehension and jealousy
            are understandable, but they’re about to
            learn that love doesn’t take love away, it
            actually creates more of it!

            There’s Going to Be a Baby
            meets Toy Story: the arrival of
            a baby brother as experienced
            by a group of endearingly
            comical living toys.

            COLD OUTSIDE
            by Luigi Ballerini
            illustrations by Paolo Domeniconi

            Outside it’s snowing, and everything is
            cold and white. Inside it’s hot, and a child
            can’t go out because he has a high fever.
            Mum is there for him, though, with a
            beautiful surprise.
            Stunning illustration and essential text
            create a soothing whole, with a lyrical
            back-and-forth between opposites –
            fever and snow, heat and cold, inside and
            outside – leading up to a final embrace.

            Cold outside. White outside.
            Red cheeks. Hot inside.
            High fever, Mummy says.

          MY CAT’S NAME
          IS ODIN
          by Francesco Bedini
          illustrations by Stefano Tambellini

          Aldo is 11 and crazy about comics. He and his friends,
          Arnie and Ian, have even set up their very own Comics
          Club, sure that it’ll be the perfect screen once the time
          comes for them to save the world. Between them and
          glory is Petra, Aldo’s 7-year-old cunning, determined
          little sister. One dark, stormy night things get
          complicated when a one-eyed cat shows up at their
          front door. They decide to adopt him and name him
          Odin, completely unaware that inside the kitten hides
          his namesake: the great, mighty, hot-tempered Norse
          god, whose final battle, Ragnarök, is about to begin.

          A four-volume series perfect for
          lovers of mythology and cats,
          and for those who don’t know
          that they’re heroes.

          illustrations by Claudia Petrazzi
          Nazar and his family are special: not only are they
          tattooed, but their tattoos actually come alive!
          Nazar’s is named Otto, and he’s a bungling octopus
          who loves eating and gobbles down anything he
          can get his tentacles on. Every time Otto jumps off
          Nazar’s back, he gets his silly distracted self into some
          kind of mess! Luckily, Nazar and the rest of his family,
          along with their tattoos, will come to the rescue!

          THE MYSTERY
          OF NETTLE HILL
          by Francesco Ramilli
          illustrations by Rachele Aragno

          Peace reigns in the village of Nettle Hill: Frank the
          Fox writes his poetry, Debby the Duck looks after her
          ducklings, and the Committee keeps a close eye on
          all the goings-on. Everyone’s looking forward to the
          big party coming up, but then an unexpected crime
          upsets all the plans: Theodore the Toad’s been killed!
          A thorough investigation is called for – and two brave
          detectives. Who better than Frank and Debby? But
          solving the case – and facing up to an enemy who’s far
          more dangerous than anyone expected – is going to
          take all their courage!

               Shivers up the spine, suspense
                and a pinch of irony make for
                    the perfect mystery novel
                         (including a murder!)
                     for middle grade readers.

              THE BOOK
              OF THE GORMWITS
              By Mario Mucciarelli
              illustrations by Stefano Tartarotti

              The Gormwits are the world’s dumbest people.
              They live high up on a remote, arid hill where there’s
              absolutely nothing to write home about. The Gormwits
              are so dumb that they themselves are surprised they
              haven’t gone extinct yet. No one knows exactly how
              or why, but young Yuki’s the most intelligent person
              in the whole village – the only one who actually thinks
              before he does something. When the other villagers
              decide to paint the Royal Palace a foul-smelling fart-
              blue color, a journey begins – one featuring catapults,
              odd encounters and even an attack on a volcano!

                                   Asterix rebooted...
                              with a lot of non-sense!

          The adventures of the dumbest people
                                   in the world!

  WORDS CAN DO
  ANYTHING
  by Silvia Vecchini and Sualzo

  Sara isn’t much of a talker. Too much has
  happened – the accident, her parents’
  separation, the fight with her best friend –
  and something’s blocked inside her. Then
  fate brings an unexpected teacher into her
  life: the elderly Mr. T., with his ageless stories
  and passion for the Hebrew alphabet, which
  Sara begins to study. Is he just a crazy old
  man? Possibly. But thanks to those mysterious
  alphabet letters, an odd clay creature enters
  Sara’s life. And with it, slowly but surely, words
  return to her – the ones that count most in life:
  friendship, family and possibly even love.

  For all the shy teens out there,
  who are dying to shout out
  to the world.
