Among the friends on the street, Fred is the eldest, then there are his younger brother Lore, the irrepressible Sveva, Edo and his nosy little sister Sandrina.
For some time now, in the old building at the bottom of the hill, a man shrouded in mystery has come to stay, with a talking bird on the balcony that seems to know them well. Fred is the only one to have seen him in the flesh – or so he says – and, during those cloudy summer evenings, he tells his friends many disturbing details about him. Furthermore, his house is perpetually immersed in darkness. What hides in the darkness? After reading and commenting on some passages of the book, we will try to share and face our fears by compiling a real “Diary of fears”. Together we will discover that when they end up on paper, fears seem much less scary!
