A BIG story about a small boy who sees the world a little differently Milo curled his thumb and forefinger together to make a small hole and held his fingers up to Al's eyes. 'Look through here. That's what I see. Kind of, only worse.' 'Wow, that must be amazing.' Milo shrugged. 'Not really.' 'I mean, it makes you focus, doesn't it? I bet you see all kinds of stuff that other people miss.' Nine-year-old Milo Moon has retinitis pigmentosa: his eyes are slowly failing and he will eventually go blind. But for now he sees the world through a pin hole and notices things other people don't. When Milo's beloved gran succumbs to dementia and moves into a nursing home, Milo soon realises there's something wrong at the home. So with just Tripi, the nursing home's cook, and Hamlet, his pet pig, to help, Milo sets out on a mission to expose the nursing home and the sinister Nurse Thornhill. Insightful, wise and surprising, What Milo Saw is filled with big ideas and simple truths. Milo sees the world in a very special way and it will be impossible for you not to fall in love with him and then share his story with everyone you know.

The Return of Norah Wells

Milo ha nove anni e una missione molto speciale: prendersi cura di nonna Lou, che insieme ad Amleto, l’animaletto di casa, è la sua inseparabile alleata. Ogni tanto la nonna annuncia che partirà per la Grecia con il nonno. Peccato che il nonno sia morto molti anni fa... Meglio non dirlo alla mamma, che ha poca pazienza, l’importante è assicurarsi che Lou prenda le pillole che le sbrogliano i pensieri. Del resto è stata proprio lei a insegnargli che il mondo si può “vedere” anche attraverso particolari che sfuggono alle persone comuni: i rumori, il tono della voce o gli odori. Sì, perché Milo è affetto da una malattia che lo renderà progressivamente cieco. E quando un giorno la nonna dà quasi fuoco alla cucina, Milo è il primo a difenderla, ma la decisione della mamma è irrevocabile: Lou deve andare in casa di riposo. Un posto apparentemente perfetto, con un bel giardino, pavimenti lucidi come specchi e un’infermiera dal sorriso stampato. Ma qualcosa non va... Come mai la nonna dorme sempre? Perché non riconosce più nessuno? Con l’aiuto di Tripi, il cuoco della clinica, Milo inizierà la sua personalissima indagine. E quando si è allenati a “vedere” il mondo con tutti e cinque i sensi, quello che si riesce a scoprire è davvero incredibile. Una storia piena di emozione e sentimento, con protagonisti indimenticabili. Il piccolo Milo conquisterà il cuore di migliaia di lettori.
