Nel febbraio del 2015 Andrea Caschetto parte per un lungo viaggio. Non ha bussole con sé, segue l'arcobaleno. Il bagaglio è leggero: nello zaino, con gli indumenti necessari per il caldo e il freddo, ci sono una strana macchina per fare le bolle di sapone più grandi del mondo, qualche giocattolo semplice, musica, matite colorate e, soprattutto, un naso rosso da clown. Serve per far sorridere i bambini che non sanno più come si fa. Sono i bambini randagi, che vivono nelle strade e negli orfanotrofi, e senza padre né madre fanno famiglia a sé. Andrea ha avuto un tumore alla testa a quindici anni. Dopo l'intervento la sua memoria è diventata fragile, a sprazzi, come lo schermo di un vecchio televisore in bianco e nero che dopo un po' perde il segnale. I ricordi svaniscono subito, restano invece i sorrisi. Quelli dei bambini e quelli della mamma, una donna fantastica. Non del padre, che ha rinunciato a crescerlo. Succede, e in questi casi cresce il bisogno di amore. Darlo e riceverlo diventa necessario. Attraversando l'Asia, il Sudamerica, l'Africa, Andrea ha giocato con i bambini, ha raccolto storie terribili e tristi, ma anche dolcissime e ricche di speranza. Ha conosciuto brava gente e orchi senza cuore, sognatori e viandanti, preti buoni e preti ingordi, e quello che doveva essere un viaggio è diventato il viaggio al centro di sé, un tuffo nel mare dei sorrisi che rimarrà per sempre nella nuova memoria da riempire.

"When we first meet Susie Salmon, she is already in heaven. As she looks down from this strange new place, she tells us, in the fresh and spirited voice of a fourteen-year-old girl, a tale that is both haunting and full of hope.". "In the weeks following her death, Susie watches life continuing without her - her school friends trading rumors about her disappearance, her family holding out hope that she'll be found, her killer trying to cover his tracks. As months pass without leads, Susie sees her parents' marriage being contorted by loss, her sister hardening herself in an effort to stay strong, and her little brother trying to grasp the meaning of the word "gone."". "And she explores the place called heaven. It looks a lot like her school playground, with the good kind of swing sets. There are counselors to help newcomers adjust and friends to room with. Everything she ever wanted appears as soon as she thinks of it except the thing she wants most: to be back with the people she loved on Earth.". "With compassion, longing, and a growing understanding, Susie sees her loved ones pass through grief and begin to mend. Her father embarks on a risky quest to ensnare her killer. Her sister undertakes a feat of remarkable daring. And the boy Susie cared for moves on, only to find himself at the center of a miraculous event."--BOOK JACKET.
