Filippo, Me and the Cherry Tree - Paola Peretti
A powerful, uplifting and moving story of a teenage girl's battle against losing her sight and keeping her friendships. Her best friend is the cheerfully rule-breaking Filippo, and she is accompanied everywhere by Ottimo Turcaret, her devoted cat. Mafalda is thirteen and has been blind since she was ten.
But other things are worrying her too: her father who has lost his job and is now in the depths of depression, refusing to leave his bed; and the horrible girl in school, Debbie, who seems very interested in Filippo . . . Mafalda is always looking on the bright side, thinking of things she can do both now and in the future despite her loss of sight. So now Mafalda has to start thinking what Filippo really means to her . . .
Then two new adults come into her life: Elsa, a homeless young woman, and Nino, the elderly upstairs neighbour with an awful temper and a great passion for Charles Dickens. Little by little, Mafalda learns their stories, and how their lives had also been shaped by brave and difficult choices. A moving sequel to THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE CHERRY TREE
