Sinossi
Jack ama Finn, il suo cane, oltre ogni cosa. Lo ha voluto e addestrato; gli dedica ogni pensiero e anche il suo ultimo saluto quando parte, con la sua classe, per un viaggio sulle spiagge del D-Day, nei luoghi dove è avvenuto lo sbarco in Normandia. Sarà l'occasione per Jack di fare i conti col senso e il non-senso della guerra. La guerra degli uomini coraggiosi e delle imprese eroiche. La guerra dei videogames che ama giocare con suo padre e che lo ha sempre affascinato. Ma anche la guerra che uccide tutti: uomini, donne, bambini. E anche i cani. La guerra da cui è scappata la sua amica Kasandra. La guerra che si è insinuata nella sua vita, ora che il padre potrebbe partire per l'Afghanistan. Sarà la storia vera e dolorosa di Emile Corteil, giovane paracadutista, e del suo cane Glen a guidare Jack verso la conquista di una nuova consapevolezza. Età di lettura: da 10 anni.
