3PICTURE BOOKS

HURRAH!Author and illustrator: Juliette Binet

An explorer sets out on an expedition inside a book, and

starts moving around like a pot-holer and scaling faces like

mountains. He carefully climbs the book’s walls until he en-

counters a cut-out shape, a passageway to the next double

page and carries on until the end of the book. Hurrah!

In this cardboard book with cut-outs, Juliette Binet takes us

on an initiatory journey: from the departure, via the journey’s

meanderings, entering and exiting pages, creating a path-

way through life itself. An ideal support for teaching younger

children about books and reading.

3 yrs + - 16 x 16 cm - 18 pages – Cardbound - €11

HIDE-AND-SEEKAuthor and illustrator: Catherine Chardonnay

A hide-and-seek for younger children that is very much like

the real game, and also has one important identical rule:

the last person found is the winner.

All characters in the book disappear to hide somewhere in

the page and merge into the décor. But the person who

counts manages to find them, not without some difficulties.

All except one of them, who has found the best hiding

place of all. But sometimes if you hide too well, everybody

forgets about you, and then the joy of success turns to

blind panic.

4 yrs + - 17 x 22 cm – 32 pages – Hardback – €13.40

LOUISON MIGNON IS LOOKING FOR HER PUPPYAuthor: Alex CousseauIllustator: Charles Dutertre

Louison Mignon is six and a half years old and finds herself on

holiday with her grandparents in the countryside, where daily life

is extraordinarily simple and friendly.

But Grandpop’s dog has disappeared. She’s gone to hide in her

secret hideaway to give birth to a puppy that’s going to be called

Banjo or Pickle, Louison will decide. Little Louison goes in search

of grandpop’s dog but in vain. So, before she falls asleep, Loui-

son promises herself to try harder tomorrow and go further into

the forest to search. Unless that is, she finds out what the reader

already knows…

PICTURE BOOKS4

ME THROUGH THE WALLSAuthor: Annie AgopianIllustrator: Audrey Calleja

A parents’ room is always so much more exciting than our own

room! So when the child is sent back to his own room, it feels

like he’s being punished. His bedroom becomes a place of ex-

clusion before it turns into a theatre for exploits, games and in-

ventions. When the imagination starts to expand the walls of

life, a bedroom turns into a huge screen where all manner of

dramas are played out. A picture book that pays tribute to chil-

dren’s bedrooms, a space fit for kings who have the right to be

bored and all the power to invent a court and its unknown ter-

ritories.

6 yrs + - 20 x 26.5 cm - 40 pages – Hardback – €14.50

SOFTIESAuthor and illustrator: Delphine Durand

What is a “softie”? Someone malleable, ok. Someone who can’t

use the telephone on their own. Who can’t put a necklace on.

There are dozens of different types of softies, all softer and

sweeter than each other. There are also plenty of softies hidden

inside Delphine Durand’s first picture book, Ma maison (1998,

10,000 copies sold, translated into five languages). Here she

describes softies with greater precision, their lifestyles, the basic

principles of adopting them, the groundrules for a healthy life,

etc. Softies are fictional characters in their own right, and are

especially good at making us aware of the softness of our daily

environments and hardness of its truths. A madcap eulogy to

the softie, extensively illustrated using multiple techniques.

5 yrs + - 18 x 24 cm - 64 pages – Hardback - €15

MONSIEUR HULOT AT THE BEACHAuthor: David Merveille

After Monsieur Hulot’s parrot (2006) and Hello Monsieur Hulot (2010),

David Merveille pays a fresh tribute to Jacques Tati’s character. He

imagines an encounter between Monsieur Hulot and a small boy on

the beach of Saint-Marc-sur-Mer, where Jacques Tati filmed Monsieur

Hulot’s Holiday.

The child keeps the story moving forward with mischievous complicity

and a series of gags in Tati’s familiar comic-poetic vein.

One can read this monochrome charcoal strip cartoon like the story-

board of an imaginary film which brings the endearing comic character

back to life through his relationship with the world of childhood.

5 yrs + - 20 x 30 cm - 56 pages – Hardback - €16

EMILY AND A WHOLE LOAD OF OTHER STUFFAuthor: Piret Raud

Emily is a fish. A fish who loves things that have been abando-

ned in the deep ocean depths. Every morning, Emily sets out

looking for new things for her collection. But one day, Emily

finds a bottle that contains a mysterious message:

“I am the most important thing deep down, help me, I’m lost.”

Emily sets out in search of the author of the note and her dis-

covery changes her life. A naïve, absurd tale about the environ-

ment, the excesses of consumerism, surface materialism, and

a deep reflection on the meaning of life and the difference bet-

ween being and having. All underwater!

6 yrs + - 17 x 23 cm - 40 pages – Hardback – €13

KID’S NOVELS

NO HURRY, YOUR MAJESTY!Author: Pascal PrévotIllustrator: Benoit Audé

Queen Brunehaut rules over an apartment of three subjects: three

girls and a boy, Jonas, aged 8, who is the owner of a tortoise, Ama-

lia. Queen Brunehaut has to attend to her subjects alone, so she

never has any time. She never has time to rest, to take a coffee in

the sun, or have fun with her kids.

Fortunately Amalia the tortoise isn’t like the others. She possesses

a superpower to slow time down and make everyone feel indolent.

Jonas decides to hide her somewhere close to his mother. The ef-

fect is instantaneous. The queen relaxes, a little too much even and

heads for the beach. Here she meets a sailor in a boat. Ultimately

Amalia changes the course of things, lets time take its course and

soon the queen won’t be alone to rule over her kingdom.

KONNICHIWA, MARTIN!Antoine Dole

change scheme. The letter starts with the

bols that Martin cannot understand. After

reading the letter Martin’s mind wanders,

and his daydream sends him on a journey to

a far away land he doesn’t know, where he

makes loads of new discoveries: Mount Fuji,

Tokyo, futons and raw fish!

HELLO, HIKARU!Gilles Abier

In Hello, Hikaru! a Japanese schoolgirl writes

a letter to her French correspondent, Martin.

To help her, she calls on her grandmother,

who knows the country and likes it very

much. How do you write a letter to someone

who is so far away and who is so very diffe-

rent? Everything seems so strange. She

looks through an old photo album and her

thoughts wander as she imagines the land

of baker’s shops, café terraces, croissants

and cheese.

KING OF THE FOOLSAlex Cousseau and Valie Le Gall

Emil lives on the Faroe Islands. One day he discovers

a narwhal tusk in the sea. In the fishing community

where he lives, the discovery of such a treasure is like

sighting a shooting star and you have to make a wish.

If his wish is to come true, he has to cast the tusk back

into the sea. Emil’s wish is to find his grandfather, who

disappeared thirty years ago.

THE INVISIBLE UNICORNValie Le Gall and Alex Cousseau

Nell and Enid are two sisters living in the north

of Scotland. One day, they find a narwhal tusk

on the beach. To Nell, who loves stories about

magical creatures, the tusk is a unicorn’s horn.

Afraid the creature won’t be able to find its horn,

she and her sister place the horn at the foot of

their hollow tree trunk den. At nightfall, Enid de-

cides to cast the horn back into the sea, so that

Nell won’t be disappointed. On the beach, an

old timer, whom everyone calls the King of the

Fools, starts to talk to her.

meets Gaspard, the school’s detention champion, and Robin, the

coolest kid on the block. Suddenly the neon light on the ceiling ex-

plodes. Elliot is convinced that something supernatural has happened

His two new buddies meanwhile also seem to have extraordinary po-

wers. So they all decide to go to school dressed as super heroes and

THE DREAM LIFE OF GROWN-UPSGéraldine Barbe

Rose lives wrapped up in her own imagination, with her invented bro-

ther, Jack. At school, she feels excluded. What’s more, she has fallen

in love with a boy to whom she daren’t say a word. Rather than come

out and say she is shy, she tells everyone that, living inside her, is a

sphinx. She tells the reader of her relationships to others, her day-to-

day life and her dreams. She hopes that one day when she’s older,

she’ll know how to live her life, have confidence in herself, and share

love. Fortunately, in Rose’s real life, amazing things are happening, like

the party at her friend’s house, where she’ll finally get to talk to the boy

with no name, for real. A subtle novel about a girl who’s very different

to everyone else.

8 yrs + - 12 x 17 cm - 64 pages – Softback – 7€

THE BUILDING THAT DIDN’T HAVE A HEAD FOR HEIGHTSColine Pierré

Hannah and her family have just moved into a brand new, very tall buil-

ding. However, there are a lot of strange goings-on within the building

and nobody can work out why. The building suddenly starts trembling

and there are worrying cracking noises. Sometimes things fly out of

the windows. The residents soon start panicking. With her friend,

Louise, Hannah decides to investigate. But first they’re going to have

to work out how to communicate with a building! Their insistence pays

off and they discover something incredible: that the building suffers

from vertigo and has just been trying to tell everyone.

9 yrs + - 12 x 17 cm – 80 pages – Softback – 7€

I DON’T LIKE BABIESIsabelle Minière

Ludi doesn’t like babies. She doesn’t like her full name, Ludivine,

either. Neither does she like being a child, “girls’” toys, princes

and princesses, etc. It must be said, there are a lot of things that

really annoy Ludi. Her little brother, Colas, has worked out how

to be happy with life: by keeping a low profile, he manages to ap-

propriate his sister’s dolls. Their exasperated parents have had

enough and want everything to return to normal. Even Ludi’s tea-

cher has started behaving like a little girl (she’s expecting a child!).

Ludi’s friend Coralie has starry-eyed dreams of boys… Every-

body’s conspiring against her!

But she and Colas gradually learn to be themselves and, above

all, begin to understand something important: we all have the

right to love or not to love.

9 yrs + - 12 x 17 cm – 96 pages – Softback – 7€

DILL PICKLE JIMBenjamin Desmares

Victor Fauchoins, aged 10, a former private detective, known

as Dill Pickle Jim, has a reputation as a formidable investigator.

He’s put his private detective career behind him, but when a

mysterious boy asks him to spy on his mother, the temptation

for a fresh adventure is too great, so Jim picks up his notepad

and pencil once more. There’s just one problem: the target is

none other than his own school principle. Trailing the woman

proves to be tougher than he’d bargained for and Dill Pickle Jim

discovers a secret bigger than him: his principle is childless and

she pays secret visits to her grandfather. Jim’s troubles have

only just begun! Dill Pickle Jim’s investigation may seem light-

weight but at its heart is a genuine enigma, the ramifications of

which only become clear at the end, in a scene worthy of the

master detective, Sherlock Holmes himself.

THE SONG FOR SONNY (AND OTHER SPORTY TALES)Ahmed Kalouaz

Eight short stories about sport, when our sporting heroes were also living

through a key moment of history.

Sportsmen and women have lives outside the stadium and sometimes they

find themselves as actors on the bigger stage of History. This is the theme run-

ning through these short stories, in which today’s teenagers discover the drama

behind the medals. Ahmed Kalouaz tells us familiar tales (such as the two black

runners who raised their fists at the Mexico Olympic Games) and lesser known

stories such as the first West Indian rugby player to play in South Africa under

Apartheid, or the Romanian footballer who mysteriously disappeared under

Ceausescu’s dictatorship.

THE LOST PROPERTY BUREAUCatherine Grive

Every since she lost her teddy bear on a highway stopover, she has kept on losing

things. Now in her teen years, not even her friends pay heed to her facebook re-

quests for help – because she even loses the things they lend her. This time, ho-

wever, it’s serious. She has lost her leather jacket, the jacket her adventurer uncle

Tozzi offered her. Her jacket gave her self-confidence and now she feels lost. The

loss becomes such an obsession that she doesn’t even notice that strange things

are happening at home. Her parents frequently row and her father spends lots of

time at home. A long fruitless quest ensues, until she hears about the existence

of the lost property bureau in a dark and distant suburb.

A wildly imaginative, hilarious debut novel that creates a delicious portrait of tee-

nage girl today.

EBEN OR THE EYES OF THE NIGHTElise Fontenaille-N’Diaye

Eben is a teenage boy of today, with dark skin and blue eyes. One day he dis-

covers that his blue eyes are a mark of colonial history on his country, Namibia,

a result of the rapes and massacres perpetrated on his Herero tribe in the early

20th century by the Germans. With the help of his uncle, he sets out to discover

a part of history hidden even within his country. The event was one of the first

genocides of the 20th century perpetrated by the same German officers and

ideologists who, thirty years later, would help implement the Final Solution. Elise

Fontenaille reaches out to teenage readers to teach them a little known tragedy

of history.

MORE DEAD THAN ALIVEGuillaume Guéraud

It is the eve of the February break at the Rosa Parks Junior High in the north

of Marseille. The doors open and we meet a handful of students: the ninth

grade gang (except for Charlotte, who has a stomach bug), little Lila, a shy

sixth grader, and then the late-arrival, Slimane, the big shot who’s in love

with the English teacher. The early comers are soon struck down by a mys-

terious virus where they lose hair and bleed from their follicles. By 10 o’clock

recreation, several students are already dead, and after lunch, three hundred

die in the space of 5 minutes. The junior high is requisitioned by specialist

medical teams and the police seal off the area. A terrifying huis clos in which

we follow the destinies of several characters. Who will survive?

TEEN THRILLER/GORE/HORROR

THE BOOK-BURNERS, VOLUME 3. WE ARE ALL PROPAGATORSMarine Carteron

Despite all the sacrifices by the Mars family and their allies, the

Book-Burners’ dastardly plan, known as the 11th Plague of Egypt,

cannot be thwarted and all the books in every library around the

world will disappear at the same time on the same day. The Book-

Burners’ dream will be fulfilled, and their victory complete.

To protect its younger members, the Brother gathers together the

Order’s children on the Island of Redonda and awaits a new solu-

tion. Cesarine, Auguste, Nene and their new friends have decided

to combine forces in what might be one final battle for freedom.

The author lays the last stone of the trilogy in this rip-roaring final

episode and offers us a finale as bright, hilarious, sincere and ge-

nerous as its heroes.

The trilogy: With the Book-Burners series, Marine Carteron

plunges us head-first into a secret war dating back to Alexander

the Great, a war pitting the Brotherhood against the Book-Burners.

Its two heroes, Auguste, an everyday high-school kid, and his

amazing autistic younger sister, Cesarine, are forced, despite

themselves, to become the heroes of this millenarian conflict. The

prize at stake? Knowledge, its control, and possession of its most

ancient form: Books!

« Pendant que papi et mamie mourraient, que maman

Non pas que je pense que si j’avais été là ça aurait changé
