Crudo

Each story opens with a shocking scene that has a series of consequences, often brutal, but all shockingly true. Martina, whose pyjama party turns into an alcoholic challenge. Fabrizio, trapped in a virtual world of pure violence. Elena’s intimate photo exposed to the world. Antonio, lured by an unknown adult. Francesca, pushed by an internet challenge to gamble her own life… The author wants to tell the truth about situations that no one wants to talk about, to let young readers recognize danger and find the tools to face up against it.
