Back to the past

Fantasy

Humorous

Time flies when you’re having fun. Here, it never moves at all.

A quiet campsite filled with people who are out of time, out of fashion, and a little out of their minds—and a key that opens more than just a door. Milo thinks he’s in for the most boring summer ever. He’s wrong. Because at Cala Chiatta campsite, there’s a way to travel without ever going anywhere…

Inspired by real events (!). Well, not all of them, obviously.
A fun, fast-paced story

Chiara Bonazzi

Chiara Bonazzi has worked in the tourism industry since 2005 and, for the past thirteen years, has been the on-the-brink-of-a-nervous-breakdown receptionist at a campsite on Lake Maggiore, where she also manages media, advertising, and branding. Born in Cittiglio (province of Varese) in November 1986, she has always lived in Piedmont, between the lake, the Alto Vergante, and the Ossola valleys. She holds a diploma in languages and a degree in Humanities for Communication. She mainly writes short stories in rhyme, some of which have been included in small anthologies; with these, she entertains her three-year-old daughter and mildly overwhelms her partner. She still hasn’t decided what she wants to be when she grows up.
