IN THE SEA THERE ARE CROCODILES

A bestseller in Italy, a beautiful, heartbreaking novel based on the true story of an Afghan boy’s journey in search of safety. Already a bestseller in Italy, foreign rights have been sold around the world making this a potential INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER along the lines of The Kite Runner or Chris Cleave's The Other Hand. Fabio Geda and Enaiatollah Akbari very promotable: Fabio speaks English, Enaiatollah (who is now in his early twenties) speaks brilliantly about his experiences. He wowed audiences in Italian TV sending the book shooting up the bestseller lists in Italy Like Dave Eggers's What is the What, this book takes a true experience and turns it into very appealing fiction. There are many stories of people trafficking and asylum seekers but few as powerful as this one. Something for everyone: will appeal to readers of all age groups, whatever their ethnic origins or class. A story of hope: a book that shows that goodness and integrity win out in the end. An uplifting message that will encourage word of mouth.
