Fabio is six years old, two parents, and nine grandparents. Nine, because he is the only child in the Mancini family, and his real grandfather&#8217;s many siblings-lonely, impetuous, and dangerously eccentric men-contend to take him hunting, fishing, and involve him in a thousand other very unchildlike activities. So Fabio grows up without hanging out with his peers, and the first day of school will be a concentration of shocking surprises: his classmates have many toys and very few grandparents, and they amuse each other with strange games with absurd names &#8211; hide-and-seek, flag-stealing, midget. And finally, the most alarming discovery of all, a terrible curse hangs over his family: all males who make it to forty without marrying go insane. His grandparents-uncles are there to testify to that. Fortunately, beside him are also a taciturn but loving father, mother, grandmother, and a very wise little girl who goes around dressed as a ladybug. A chaotic family that seems invincible, until something totally unexpected happens and upsets every balance. Day after day, from elementary through middle school, Fabio will seek the ever precarious balance between a private world populated with stories, full of adventure and animated with imagination, and the world out there, confined in a thousand oppressive rules and dominated by the law of the fittest. Amid stumbles, sudden loves, and extraordinary encounters, in a rambling, poetic, and wacky coming-of-age journey, Fabio will realize that oddities are our inexhaustible treasure of uniqueness, and he will come to discover his own vocation as a storyteller hopelessly in love with life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sea Where You Don&#8217;t Touch is read in one breath and remains forever in the heart, along with the unique voice of the narrator, a boy with a head full of questions and a heart overflowing with stories.
