Zola Angelica lives with her mum and her Nonna Rosa.

They live in a little house, in a little street, in a little suburb, in the middle of a big city.

But you already know that, don’t you?

Do you remember that her cousin Alessandro lives in the house behind Zola’s?

He’s the one with the cheeky dog named Gigi.

Nonna Rosa says that sometimes Zola and Gigi are mischievous in the same way.

Not like Nonna’s dog, Monty.

He’s the best-mannered dog in the whole of Boomerang Street.

These days, Zola is trying very hard to do the right thing. She’s spending more time with Nonna Rosa learning to listen.

They’re both members of the St Odo’s community garden project.

Zola is also helping Alessandro give Gigi obedience lessons. Nonna has given Gigi permission to play in their backyard if she’s well-behaved.

It looks like Zola’s doing a great job keeping out of trouble.

Well, sort of, anyway.

Until she meets the kids next door.
