Mafalda is always looking on the bright side, thinking of things she can do both now and in the future despite her loss of sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut other things are worrying her too: her father, who has lost his job and is now in the depths of depression, refusing to leave his bed; and the horrible girl in school, Debbie, who seems very interested in Filippo. So now Mafalda has to start thinking about what Filippo really means to her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen two new adults come into her life: Elsa, a homeless young woman, and Signor Nino, the elderly upstairs neighbour with an awful temper and a great passion for Charles Dickens.
