    Noi siamo infinito. Ragazzo da parete
    • Fra un tema su Kerouac e uno sul "Giovane Holden", tra una citazione da "L'attimo fuggente" e una canzone degli Smiths, scorrono i giorni di un adolescente per niente ordinario. L'ingresso nelle scuole superiori lo lancia in un vortice di prime volte: la prima festa, la prima rissa, il primo amore - per la bellissima ragazza con gli occhi verdi che quando lo guarda fa tremare il mondo. Il primo bacio, e lei gli dice: per te sono troppo grande, però possiamo essere amici. Per compensare, Charlie trova una che non gli piace e parla troppo: a sedici anni fa il primo sesso, e non sa neanche perché. Allora lui, più portato alla riflessione che all'azione, affida emozioni, trasgressioni e turbamenti a una lunga serie di lettere indirizzate a un amico, al quale racconta ciò che vive, che sente, che ha intorno. Dotato di un'innata gentilezza d'animo e di un dono speciale per la poesia, il ragazzo è il confidente perfetto di tutti, quello che non dimentica mai un compleanno, quello che non tradisce mai e poi mai un segreto. Peccato che quello più grande, fosco e lontano, sia nascosto proprio dentro di lui.

Together, they find themselves drawn to the tight-knit community of Mill Grove, Pennsylvania. It's as far off the beaten track as they can get. Just one highway in, one highway out. At first, it seems like the perfect place to finally settle down. Then Christopher vanishes. For six awful days, no one can find him. Until Christopher emerges from the woods at the edge of town, unharmed but not unchanged. He returns with a voice in his head only he can hear, with a mission only he can complete: Build a tree house in the woods by Christmas, or his mother and everyone in the town will never be the same again. Soon Kate and Christopher find themselves in the fight of their lives, caught in the middle of a war playing out between good and evil, with their small town as the battleground."--Provided by publisher.

    • Charlie is a shy and introspective teenage boy, a wallflower always standing on the edge of the action. We learn about him through the letters he writes to someone of an undisclosed name, age and gender, a stylistic technique which adds to the heart-wrenching earnestness of the story. More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. Charlie encounters many of the struggles familiar to everybody from their school days, from making friends, first crushes, experimenting with drugs and sexuality, but he must also deal with his best friend's suicide and a shocking realisation about his beloved late Aunt Helen which challenges his very grip on reality. This is a funny, touching, memorable first novel which captures with resounding accuracy the voice of a boy teetering on the brink of adulthood.
