review 1: Un piccolo gioiello! Non gli do il massimo solo perché avrei voluto che non finisse così presto...Tom ha undici anni e vive in una roulotte con la sua mamma venticinquenne. Lei si comporta come una ragazzina immatura perché ha dovuto crescere troppo in fretta, lui è un piccolo adulto che ha imparato a cavarsela da solo. Intorno a loro si muove una serie di personaggi tenerissimi e buffi, e l'autrice ci presenta il punto di vista di ognuno, persino degli animali. Davvero dolce il piccolo Tom, che si prende cura di se stesso, della sua mamma e di chiunque abbia bisogno del suo aiuto.Una storia delicata narrata con leggerezza e senso dell'umorismo, una vera boccata d'aria fresca!
review 2: I read this book in one afternoon.It is a short, sweet novel by an auth... moreor I had never heard of.I came across this book while out shopping, and the title caught my eye. I then read the summary and was sold on it.This is a story of 11 year old Tom, who lives with his mum. She's immature (she's only 24...) and handicapped by her heavy cleavage that she wants to have reduced.Tom is often left to his own devices. He steals vegetables from their English neighbours to put food on the table. While he think they don't notice, it's obviously the contrary. The couple find him quite entertaining and endearing, "helping" him in their own way.Then he meets Madeleine, an old lady he rescues one evening. She had fallen in her garden and couldn't get up. This small gesture is the start of a sweet friendship, and will end in an interesting twist. less
