Book overview

Who was Carlo Acutis? A fun-loving Italian teenager. Like any other boy his age, he adored pets, spent time with friends, and played soccer and video games. What set Carlo apart was his great love for Jesus, which spread joy and hope to everyone he met.

Twenty true and inspiring stories bring Carlo's short but extraordinary life to light. Though he passed away in 2006 from a sudden illness, his faith continues to touch hearts worldwide. Canonized in 2025, Carlo is a modern saint for our time.
