What if Italian felt so easy you didn't need translations, and reading just flowed? You could skyrocket your Italian in record time.

Ever felt stuck reading in Italian - long sentences, too many unfamiliar words, boring content? You're not alone.

Having learned Italian ourselves, we came across lots of materials that were just not quite right: too hard, too dry, or not culturally relevant - just the same stories translated into dozens of languages (yes, those exist). That's why we created this book: so you can skyrocket your Italian, with stories that are right for your level - and - critically - are fun to read.
