The mysterious world of teenagers and “adultescent” it has that paradox: although almost everything happens in impregnable privacy, it hardly keeps any secrets. We have all passed through a place where little of the fundamental changes: the wish for true friendshipanxiety about fitting in, sexual curiosity, the insecurity around the body, the dramatic experience, the longing for autonomy and love. We all project those dreams and concerns onto movies, series and books. Some books, those romantic serials that pass from hand to hand, are not read, they are drunk. These are titles that will never reach the recycled paper container. The young women who read todaycrave’ (‘Longing), the saga of Tracy Wolffnot even 50 can get rid of it.
the saga about vampires, witches, werewolves and dragons written by Tracy Wolff is the current equivalent of ‘Twilight’ or even, ‘Harry Potter’.

The heroine of this whole adventure is called Grace, she is an orphan (another classic of youth) and when she arrives at the institute that she runs, her uncle discovers that she is a gargoyle with powers.

In addition to the inevitable empowering agenda, the writer sets another goal: “I think it’s very important to give a role model for readers and show that talking about emotions is not synonymous with being weak. You have to know how to identify them, feel good with them and be able to talk openly”
