Synopse:
It is fifth grade at last. Many things will change. It is time to face a troop of teachers, one for each subject. It is time for a brand new classroom, new friends and new experiences… wow, how different is that! The first week at school seems interminable. Miguel, the main character in this story, is not particularly keen on changes. Much to the contrary, he thinks they come to mess up his life. A life already disarranged by his mother’s new boyfriend, by the criticism and civic-mindedness arousing within himself, and by the arising of adolescence, which by nature is confusing for anyone. But things will straighten out, because someone as good-hearted as him has an only goal in life: to be happy. Enjoy Lino de Albergaria’s first of a series of four books, whose characters, in a growing up process, face novelties, conflicts and surprises brought by life.
