BEHIND SHIMMERING the stars
Can you fall in love with the same person twice? “ ”
A boy and a girl have been friends for a long time and eventually they fall in love, but their story ends abruptly when she realizes her desire for a male identity. Will their bond overcome prejudice?
In Behind the Shimmering Stars, gender transition is not treated as a social and cultural battle for personal freedom and against homophobia, instead as a love story which is also a comingof-age story, a journey to understand oneself, to accept oneself and find one’s place in the world.
io e Martino eravamo innamorati, anche se non capivamo ancora il vero significato di quella parola.
Che bello, Nei tuoi occhi si vede il riflesso delle stelle...
vuoi essere la mia fidanzata?

The book for the girls who read Raina Telgemeier and are now teenagers RIGHTS SOLD: WORLD FRENCH, WORLDPORTUGUESESPANISH,
"Controra" is a term used in southern Italy to name the hottest hour of the day, when one rests during Summer days. It is precisely at this moment, while her parents sleep in the tourist village where they are spending their holidays, that Viola meets a local boy while repairing an old boat. The young man does not seem like everyone else, and from the few words exchanged with her, she perceives his particular sensitivity and wants to help him. Very soon, the spark of love ignites between the two young people
The encounters between Viola and Ireneo are considered wrong by her parents, to the point to forbid them and punish her; it is possible that her friends, too, would find them wrong, if only they knew, and this is why Viola doesn’t tell them her secret. On the contrary, the relationship between her friend Valeria and Gabriele is considered “right”, almost “perfect”, at least for some time.
Viola e Ireneo find their “space” to grow, experiment and become what they are while the others, especially the adults, cannot see but a “mistake”… and the concept of “mistake” is a central element for our story.
The acceptance of one’s own body and diversities

Coming of age in the northern lands
The tale of a friendship
Norway, early 90s. Under the cover of silence, four 10-year old boys decide to leave with a secret mission early in the morning. It won’t be an easy journey in the majestic snowy landscapes: among the several obstacles, they will have to cross a frozen lake, they will lose their sled and they will even be caught by a blizzard. With the unravelling of the path, it will become clearer and clearer they are not simply fleeing from home. They are actually engaged in a salvage mission to find Simen’s older brother. Fredrik, in fact, has been running away for days after a fight with his parents, and they want to convince him and come back home. With a line able to recreate all the liveliness of the main characters and pastel colours that perfectly reproduce the light of the northern environments, Christian Galli delivers a story of friendship and tells about that delicate moment when a child is finally ready “to leave his nest”.
