Three Friends, One Diary – vol. 1
Adventure
Romance
If you can’t use your phone, how do you survive at school? With a diary for you and your friends!
There’s a new rule at Locatelli middle school: students won’t be able to use their mobile phones for a whole school year, neither in class nor at home. How will Zoe, Isi and Lola cope with life at school without texting each other?
They decide to talk about their days in a shared notebook, pretending to take notes. The diary passes from hand to hand and is enriched with chats, drawings, stories. There’s Zoe’s cosplay and skateboarding sunsets and Isi’s inscriptions, which she loves to draw. And there’s Lola, who has fun writing about exhausted teachers and weird classmates. And then, of course, there are the unbearable David, Jacopo, Cecilia and that strange guy Filis, who Lola can’t understand.
- Friendship, school, first loves, manga and much more!
- Three adorable heroines, three girls on the threshold of adolescence who grow up and discover a little piece of life together.

Author
Giada Pavesi
Giada Pavesi is a writer from Cremona, where she lives with her snobbish cat and a few too many plants—but whenever she gets the chance, she grabs her yellow suitcase and sets off on a trip. To justify reading all day, she began studying foreign languages and literature at the University of Milan, and later in Leicester, England. She has worked as a waitress, entertainer, translator, librarian... and probably a few other things too.
