Reviews
"""Amerigo's voice won me over. I devoured the pages of his story, because in his stories as a child there is so much lightheartedness and fear at the same time that one cannot help but love."" --Scheggia tra le Pagine ""The novel is poignant, delicate, [and] profound."" --Bruno Elpis ""The Children's Train is a sympathetic, well-crafted novel filled with vacation-worthy sights and authentic experiences from an Italy that balances folk tradition with modernity.""--New York Journal of Books ""The innocence of childhood collides with the stark aftermath of war in this wrenching and ultimately redemptive tale of family, seemingly impossible choices, and the winding paths to destiny, which sometimes take us to places far beyond our imaginings.""--Lisa Wingate, author of Before We Were Yours and The Book of Lost Friends ""The Children's Train is for those who want to jump into a painful but hopeful historical period and for those who love fiction from the point of view of the little ones."" --Elena Naldi, Leggere a Colori"
