Sinossi
Nel giorno del suo quattordicesimo compleanno, April ripercorre le tappe della sua vita. Abbandonata in un cassonetto e trovata da un garzone di pizzeria, la bambina attraversa una serie di disavventure: famiglie adottive che si sfasciano, orfanotrofio e istituto di correzione, dove finalmente trova un'insegnante che la porta a vivere con sé. Ora April riesce a guardare il proprio passato con serenità, e ad acettare quella parte di sé che ne aveva fatto, a un certo punto della sua vita, una "bambina cattiva". Età di lettura: da 11 anni.
