    About this ebook

    Uga starts middle school, where she knows a lot of nice people like her friends Valeria, Giulia and Olga. She also has to face off against Sara, the classic show-off girl who never fails to make hateful jokes. Between “heroic” deeds and funny transgressions, the story becomes more complicated with the arrival of a mysterious epidemic. Uga and her classmates must turn upside down their habits: no more sports (a blessing for Uga!), no more friends nor hobbies. This is a book to make a journey through a particular year and to understand that Uga is not like the others, but she is so much more. She is funny and genuine, but also special. Like, after all, everyone.

      Uga… like All the Others - Facinti Martina

      CHAPTER 1

      ABOUT ME

      Hi, my name is Giorgia, I'm eleven years old and I go to school, the daily torture that involves EVERY one my age EVERY day... you might say, but no, I'm special, I'm the very rich daughter of my millionaire daddy.

      I'm a tall, slim, fair-haired girl, with blue eyes and a delicate nose. Simply b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!

      I live in a very large villa; every morning I have a nice hydromassage, for breakfast I eat genuine food and then I go to school with my driver Goffredo.

      Everyone at school knows and greets me, I'm smart and I do well. I'm very kind, sweet and nice.

      Other qualities? My greatest wish is world peace... but currently I’m getting ready for Miss Italia, a competition in which I’ll participate in a few years.

      I'm a rhythmic gymnastics athlete and I won a lot of medals!

      OF COURSE I'm joking!

      I tell you the truth.

      My name is Uga and I hate it, there are many names in the world but they chose this one!

      It's true that I'm 11, but I don't live in a giant and beautiful villa. However, in case you want to visit me, my house is the white building after the pastry shop, 4th floor, without elevator.

      I go to school too, but it's a huge mess for me! Teachers are like hounds to me. If you raise your head off the bench, they read your mind and understand WHAT you want to do, WHEN, HOW and WHY you want to do it.

      I'm quite imaginative, but not in a very positive sense: a look at the PE teacher is enough to start thinking that he’s a medieval torturer who kept going forward in time doing massacres by means of push-ups and skips.

      As for my physical appearance... I'm not fat... I just grew up the wrong way...

      In ‘compensation’, I'm not so short, I'm satisfied of my 1m 52cm height.

      I've got three friends, together we form the ‘fantastic four’ and we are inseparable!

      I'm outgoing, nice and funny with them, while I'm shy with the others... but if someone provokes me, I always say what I think, without ever pondering twice. And to those who tease me I respond with a joke whom I think about in the evening while taking a shower, if I don't manage to tell it on the spot.

      I love reading but I have a pair of gigantic and often fogged glasses, which make the task more difficult.

      I love animals: I have a dog called Polpetta, which has a lot of fun devouring my shoes and eating my clothes.

      But my favorite animal is the iguana.

      I wish I had hundreds and hundreds of them, a farm of iguanas!

      Unfortunately, my mom hates them the way I hate eating vegetables.

      As a sport I go swimming, but only because I'm obliged and not because I like it.

      Basically, swimming for me is: freezing to death in the locker room; kicking (accidentally) in the face the girl who swims behind me and slapping the leg of the one in front; risking a drowning; drinking pool water; starting in a lane to magically end up in the return one and hearing my trainer screaming to me to keep the feet pointed while
