An Italian Adventure (The Italian Saga #1) by Gaia B Amman – Review by Tausha Treadway

An Italian Adventure by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Italian Adventure ( The Italian Saga) (Volume 1) by Gaia B Amman. This is such a endearing coming of age story about a young girl named Leda ( Lee to her friends and family) who is going thru the same things all preteens go thru. She meets Nico who has just moved to Sicily in the 1980’s and he’s a major bully who scares all the kids except Lee. She’s a tomboy who fights with her siblings all the time so she’s not scared of anyone. This book takes you thru the emotions of a young girl who must confess her sins at confession, cope with the pending divorce of her parents and dealing with sibling rivalry. It is set in the beautiful setting of Italy and in a time when life was more laid back but there are just as many emotions and difficulties in growing up. You become Lee in this story, you feel her heartaches, her fears and her love. Its an amazing story of growing up and becoming a teenager. I loved this book and if you are 12 or 50 you will enjoy it too.
