Anna Porto

La nuova ragazza Anna Porto

Beatrice is the new girl at the high school in town. She makes new friends easily, so it's not a surprise when she starts hanging out with a boy named Cooper. Like Cooper and many of the students at the school, Beatrice is very involved in sports, which is just one of the ways she and Cooper connect. But issues arise with their newfound friendship (romance?) with Cooper when their differences are highlighted by the adults in their lives.

How do the teens navigate their lives given the demands of their parents and society?

This book is intended as a reader for students learning Italian. While the story has a plot similar to the classic story of Romeo and Juliet or Tony and Maria, the vocabulary and grammar are simple and comprehensible even for those whose Italian is at the novice level.
