Una Postal Desde Italia (a Postcard from Italy)

Elements of magical realism turn a grandmother/grandson day of fishing into an extraordinary experience. When this duo casts out their lines, they catch some fish and a snapping turtle.

She's the new music teacher, and Mallory can't think of anything that could possibly be worse--until her first day.
