Lower secondary schools
Ten thousand stops, a single heartbeat
for all the classes of the lower secondary school
A crowded bus, a notebook always in hand, and ten thousand stops to summon the courage to say something: this is Giulio's daily journey, which fills the boredom of the school-home commute by drawing his everyday companions. Among the many faces that alternate behind the window, one remains fixed: that of a girl with fluorescent headphones, observed but never approached. Gud (Ten Thousand Stops to Tell You That..., Mondadori) crafts a sweet and funny story about the anticipation and indecision typical of first heartbeats, reminding us that sometimes just one stop, the last one, is enough to change everything.
