A teenage story alongside the life of Carlo Acutis

Daniel, a fictional teenager diagnosed with leukemia, is initially reluctant to seek help from Blessed Carlo Acutis. The book brings Daniel’s experience together with nonfiction material about Acutis, presenting the saint’s life through the frame of a young person looking for spiritual companionship. Its Christian focus includes trust in God, friendship with a saint, and questions of life’s meaning. The blend of fiction and biographical introduction gives the book two connected strands: Daniel’s personal journey and an account of Carlo Acutis.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in Christian fiction.
  • Readers seeking an introduction to Blessed Carlo Acutis.
  • Readers interested in stories about faith in the context of serious illness.
