«Ora di crescere» is the young adult novel by Christine Nöstlinger, published by BUR Biblioteca Univ. Rizzoli in paperback (157 pages, in Italian).
Anika is fourteen and lives her adolescence between school boredom, her mother's reproaches, and her father's complicity. She falls for an older boy, though she ends up valuing the simplicity of someone closer. The novel culminates in an act of rebellion: a strike against exams that shakes the whole school.

Recommended for young people aged 12 and up looking for realistic stories about adolescence, family, and first love.
