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

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.

bols that Martin cannot understand. After

makes loads of new discoveries: Mount Fuji,
Tokyo, futons and raw fish!

much. How do you write a letter to someone

rent? Everything seems so strange. She

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
tombait dans le coma et que mon frère sauvait les archives
de la Confrérie, moi j’étais chez Sara car maman n’avait
pas voulu que je vienne avec eux. Évidemment, même si
c’était gentil de ne pas vouloir que je meure, c’était aussi
idiot vu que leur opération ne s’est pas bien passée.
Non pas que je pense que si j’avais été là ça aurait changé
quelque chose (enfi n, si, je le pense) mais surtout j’aurais
pu AGIR et essayer de sauver papi et mamie ; alors que
maintenant qu’ils sont morts, je ne peux rien faire.
J’ai été INUTILE et je n’aime pas ça. Du tout.
Du coup j’ai décidé de prendre les choses en main
