Sweet Pizza

By G.R. Gemin

When Joe tasted a mouthful he was amazed how delicious it was - a dense taste, better than any pasta he&#39;d eaten before. Food was suddenly different - he felt as if his taste buds were doing the cha-cha-cha on Strictly. Joe loves his Italian heritage: the language, the opera, the lasagne! But it&#39;s hard to celebrate his Italian roots in Bryn Mawr, South Wales, where his mam is sick of running the family&#39;s tatty cafe. Just like his great-grandfather who opened the cafe in 1929, Joe is an entrepreneur. He vows to save the family business, and to spice up the tired High Street with a little Italian flavour! This is a heart-warming story about bringing a diverse community together and the amazing history of Italian immigrants in Wales. From the author of Cowgirl, shortlisted for the Waterstones Children&#39;s Book Prize. Cover illustration by Tom Clohosy Cole. &quot;The warmth and charm of &#39;Sweet Pizza&#39; are quite extraordinary; though there are some very moving moments, it is mainly a joyous and eccentric comedy.&quot; Kate Saunders, Guardian Children&#39;s Fiction Prize Judge
