Grillo - How i saved Pinocchio

Grillo – How I Saved Pinocchio retells the familiar story of Pinocchio from a completely new perspective.

Benji is twelve years old, confident, cheeky, and convinced that rules are mainly meant for other people. But after a prank with serious consequences, he is magically transformed into a tiny cricket. To become human again, he must complete a very special task: he has to accompany Pinocchio and stand by his side as his conscience.

That proves far more difficult than expected. Pinocchio is curious, stubborn, and all too easily tempted by alluring promises and false friends. During their journey, the two encounter unusual animals, a mysterious fairy, and dangers that have never appeared in any familiar fairy tale.

While Benji tries to protect Pinocchio from his mistakes, he gradually realizes that he still has a great deal to learn about responsibility, honesty, and true friendship.

An imaginative, humorous, and moving retelling about courage, trust, and second chances — for everyone who grew up with Pinocchio, and for a new generation ready to discover him.

Eine fantasievolle, humorvolle und berührende Neuerzählung über Mut, Vertrauen und zweite Chancen – für alle, die mit Pinocchio aufgewachsen sind und für eine neue Generation, die ihn erst noch entdecken darf.
