A riveting coming-of-age story, told with the breathless precision of a Hitchcock noir by a masterful new voice in Italian literature. 'I knew nothing, back then, of the ways in which love can show itself, of the force with which it can push us into a corner and take our breath away.' It's 1978. Ponte, a small community in Northern Italy: peaceful woods, discarded rubbish, a closed-down factory. An unbearably hot summer like many others, wilted flowers and trips to the waterfalls. Elia Furenti is 16, living in a secluded house with his parents, a life so unremarkable that even its moderate unhappiness has been accepted as normal. That is until the day the beautiful, damaged Anna returns to Ponte and firmly propels Elia to the edge of adulthood. But then everything starts to unravel. Elia's father, Ettore, is let go from his job and loses himself in the darkest corners of his mind, spending day after day plotting his revenge. A young boy is murdered, shaking the small community to its core. And a girl climbs into a van and vanishes in the deep, dark woods.... Translated from Italian by Alex Valente.

'One morning you open your eyes and you're a teenager. Without warning, you wake up in the body of an overweight stranger who hates everyone, only wears black and has suicidal thoughts eighty-four percent of the time. And I was no exception.' This is Mia: sixteen years old, rebellious, sarcastic, determined, and always ready to face head-on the problems of teenage life: school, classmates, separated parents, and a stormy relationship with a single mother who loves her to bits. Mia has always pursued her one big dream: to get into London's Royal Ballet School. The most prestigious dance school in the world, with a gruelling selection process and fees which are way too expensive for a single mother. And just to make things even more complicated, there's her secret passion for Patrick, her best friend's brother: a boy so charming and unique that it's hard to believe he's not an angel – but, unfortunately for Mia, an angel who thinks of her as a little sister. Her passions for dance and for Patrick are so intense that there's no way Mia would ever be able to give up either. Until destiny presents her with a difficult and painful choice... For fans of Jenny Han and Holly Bourne, a charming young adult novel about first love and big dreams from bestselling Italian author Federica Bosco.

I Can Hear is one of my first series, Chewie’s Senses. This is dedicated to my one and only pet dog Chewie who has been by my side during the whole process of making this book. The way Chewie is always alert and wary of her surrounding and how she reacts to everything she sees, smells, hears, tastes, and feels has been an inspiration for me. Sometimes, I feel that we should be more observant and learn from these intriguing animals because we as humans often tend to ignore our senses and thus leave our curiosity unanswered. The series is about Chewie exploring the world outside home using her senses, and this book, I Can Hear, portrays Chewie using her sense of hearing in order to find out what this new mysterious sound she picked up is.About the AuthorNoah Park is the author and illustrator of four children’s picture books: The Story about the 4 Goblins, The King has Donkey Ears, Dolce the Fool, I Can Smell, and I Can Hear.
