The adults in his life are crumbling under the shock. In desperation, he turns to his parish priest for help and is introduced to a boy his age, Carlo Acutis—who just happens to be dead. Daniel’s convinced the priest is wasting his time.

- El Chico Que Lo Sabía (Carlo Acutis)
¿MUERTE? DEFINE LA MUERTE. “Tienes leucemia” “Eso es lo que dijo el doctor. Mamá y papá se lo han tomado tan mal, que se pelean. Me siento impotente. Tal vez por eso recurrí al Padre Thomas. Pero me ha dado una estampa de Carlo Acutis, como si un chico santo que se ha muerto vaya a servirme para algo." “Pero, ¿qué tengo que perder?” Daniel acaba de recibir la peor noticia que puede recibir un adolescente. Los adultos que forman parte de su vida se derrumban. Desesperado, se dirige a un sacerdote para pedir ayuda, y este le habla de un chico de su edad, Carlo Acutis, que murió no hace mucho. Daniel está convencido de que el sacerdote pierde el tiempo. Pero mientras lucha por aceptar su futuro incierto, se desarrolla una extraña amistad entre él y el chico santo y muerto, que quizá no esté tan muerto, después de todo. El Chico que lo Sabía es el primer título de la nueva serie de "Amigos en las Alturas" de Corinna Turner, nominada a la Medalla Carnegie.

- Il Ragazzo Che Sapeva (Carlo Acutis)
MORTO? DEFINISCI LA PAROLA MORTO. “Hai la leucemia.” Daniele ha appena ricevuto la notizia peggiore per un adolescente. Gli adulti intorno a lui stanno crollando sotto il peso dello shock. Disperato, si rivolge al prete della sua parrocchia in cerca d’aiuto e fa la conoscenza di un ragazzo della sua età, Carlo Acutis – che pare sia morto. Daniele è convinto che il sacerdote stia sprecando il suo tempo. Ma mentre cerca di scendere a patti con il proprio incerto futuro un’improbabile amicizia si sviluppa tra lui e il pio ragazzo defunto – che dopo tutto potrebbe non essere così morto. Il ragazzo che sapeva è il primo titolo della serie ‘Amicizie molto in alto’ della nominata alla Carnegie Medal Corinna Turner.

- Do Carpenters Dream of Wooden Sheep?
The Story of St. Joseph—with a Sci-Fi Twist! Razim’s staying overnight to help his friend Daniel, who’s sick with leukaemia, but he’s forgotten his phone! Lying awake after watching Blade Runner, Razim reads the only story he can find—about Joseph and Mary—only to fall asleep and find himself in futuristic Merillia. In Merillia, his name is Cleopas, and his big brother, Jo, is considering an arranged marriage to a girl called Miryam. Soon, events are in motion that will change their lives—and the world—forever. For anyone who feels over-familiar with the Holy Family’s story after Christmas after Christmas of nativity plays, this imaginative re-telling thoroughly blows the dust off. A standalone spin-off from Corinna Turner’s ‘Friends in High Places’ series, it can be read on its own or in between books 1 and 2.
- Old Men Don't Walk to Egypt (Saint Joseph)
FRIENDS, POPULARITY, BOYFRIEND, CHECK. HAPPINESS...? Katie has everything she thinks she wants—friends, popularity, and a gorgeous athletic older boyfriend. But the more time she spends with Shaun, the more miserable she feels. When freaky Daniel suggests Saint Joseph for her research project, her supposedly perfect life spirals out of control. Will the carpenter from Nazareth destroy everything she thinks matters—or give her even the things she didn’t know she wanted? Old Men Don’t Walk to Egypt is the second book in the Friends in High Places series, but can be read on its own. “Despite being beyond blessed as a Dominican Sister of Saint Joseph to be under his patronage, I always struggled most of all in getting to know St Joseph as a flesh-and-blood person. Seeing him through Katie's eyes has had a beautiful and unexpected impact on my own relationship with him and—finally—I've found a friend and spiritual father in St Joseph!” - Sr. M.
