Who was Carlo Acutis? A fun-loving Italian teenager. Like any other boy his age, he adored pets, spent time with friends, and played soccer and video games. What set Carlo apart was his great love for Jesus, which spread joy and hope to everyone he met.
Twenty true and inspiring stories bring Carlo’s short but extraordinary life to light. Though he passed away in 2006 from a sudden illness, his faith continues to touch hearts worldwide. Canonized in 2025, Carlo is a modern saint for our time.
The Boy Who Knew Carlo Acutis is the powerful and inspiring journey of a fictional teenage boy, Daniel, who has just been diagnosed with leukemia. At first reluctant to turn toward Blessed Carlo Acutis for help, Daniel finds in him a role model and a spiritual companion, who helps him to trust in God and to discover the meaning of life.
Masterfully intertwining fiction and nonfiction, Corinna Turner gives us a unique introduction to the extraordinary life of Blessed Carlo Acutis while showing us how simple it can be to be friends with a saint.
Carlo Acutis was like other boys his age. In his hometown of Milan, Italy, he loved video games, playing soccer, and hanging out with his friends. But unlike most other boys, he also loved going to Mass, and his deep concern for others was felt by everyone around him—including the poor, the brokenhearted, and even stray dogs.
A self-taught computer whiz, Carlo used his tech skills to serve the Church and to share his faith in Christ. He built websites for parishes, and he created an online exhibition to document Eucharistic miracles around the world.
At the age of fifteen, Carlo was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia and died a week later on October 12, 2006. In 2018, a miracle was attributed to his intercession, and Pope Francis beatified him in 2020. He has become a shining example of faith, hope, and love, especially to young people.
