When Joe tasted a mouthful he was amazed how delicious it was - a dense taste, b
etter than any pasta he'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's hard to celebrate his I
talian roots in Bryn Mawr, South Wales, where his mam is sick of running the fam
ily's tatty cafe. Just like his great-grandfather who opened the cafe in 1929, J
oe is an entrepreneur.
He vows to save the family business, and to spice up t
he 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's Book Prize.
