Lotta ha quattro anni (e qualcosa). Ha un fratello, Jonas, e una sorella, Mia-Maria. E due genitori molto pazienti. Poi ha Orso, il maiale di pezza da cui non si separa mai, e una vicina di casa gentilissima, la signora Berg. E non basta, perché la piccola Lotta ha anche un mucchio di idee balzane: un giorno, per esempio, sparisce e va a casa della vicina, perché ormai è grande abbastanza per vivere da sola e la sua mamma è troppo cattiva.

A powerful coming-of-age story brought to life in audio. At thirteen, Orion Casey has stopped singing—and it’s not because she stopped loving it. After the girls everyone else follows start talking about her instead of to her, she’s finished performing for anyone. Then the messages start. Anonymous. Encouraging. A little too perfectly timed. Someone’s been watching her, really paying attention, and part of Orion can’t help hoping it’s the one person she wishes would notice her back.
