The Portal Beneath the Parquet

By Luca Bernardo Malino

A new city. A new school. A basketball court with a secret.

Eleven-year-old Giosuè is trying to find his place. With Matteo and Emily, basketball becomes the beginning of a much bigger adventure: a story about friendship, imagination and the courage to try.
