What a heart breaking story this is of what I was allowed to read! Based on a true story,all the children having to leave the only home they know to go live with strangers and hope you get a nice family! Viola Ardone is a excellent story teller what I have read so far. This is placed in Italy where most of the stories of children having to be relocated happened all over but have read most of this happening in England so it's nice to read about what Italy had to go through.
