A te che questo tempo ha appena portato ad ascoltare questo audiolibro. Devo dirti una cosa importante: ti prego, fa' attenzione. In questo audiolibro, non troverai nessun supereroe e nemmeno parole come "mantello" o "e dalla lampada uscì", no, niente di tutto questo. Qui troverai una vita vera, una vita che esiste, e le vite vere che esistono sono fragili, delicate, forti ma piene di cuore e di spaventi che ci portiamo dentro da anni e anni o, forse, da tantissime vite. Ci sono dentro coraggio e amore e amici, e c'è il mare, e un parco giochi incastrato nel centro della città.
