l’école des loisirs

Home Sweet HomeAntoine Philias • Alice Zeniter

2008. While Cleveland is ravaged by the subprime financial collapse, a group of angry youth take over an abandoned high school and turn it into an “anti-adult” shelter, a ZAD (zone to defend) where they can learn to live without lies.

Chaplin en AmériqueLaurent Seksik • David François

1912. Among the thousands of European immigrants

who disembarked in New York, Charles Spencer

Chaplin believed one thing: one day he would be rich and celebrated

around the world. This first volume of a trilogy traces the

beginnings of “The Tramp” revealing

both his genius and his darker side.

L’homme qui voulait rentrer chez lui Éric Pessan

Jeff and Norbert find an odd fugitive hiding in the basement of their building. He’s pale, very small and only expresses himself by clicking his tongue. The two brothers want to help him but he refuses to budge. Yet, in just a few weeks, a demolition crew is coming to destroy the tower.

ÉdenRebecca Lighieri

Ruby, who is 13, dreams of running away. One evening,

while in the storage room of her new home,

the only place where she feels safe, she is

snapped up by a gust of wind and transported to the edge of a moonlit

forest. She returns home, a fern imprinted on her

palm, and can’t believe it! Video on ecoledesmax.com

La fille sans nom Maëlle Fierpied

“Looking for a lad for odd jobs in exchange for food and shelter.” When the runaway Camille answered the ad, she thought she had found freedom. But her contract robbed her of her name and put her under the yoke of the barge’s owner, the magus Hélix. Enslaved? Camille would do anything to escape.

L’Estrange Malaventure de Mirella Flore Vesco

With vivid and colourful language evoking the height of the Middle Ages and holding a cruel mirror to our own era, Mirella, a 15-year-old orphaned water carrier, recounts the true story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Irreverent, caustic, cruel, and yet at the same empoweringly optimistic.

Boo Neil Smith Translated by Lori Saint-Martin and Paul Gagné

Boo, who is shunned on account of his autism, dreams of becoming a very learned scholar. He’s reciting the complete periodic table when he suddenly collapses next to his locker… and then awakens in the Village, a sort of heaven for 13-year-olds who have died. He’s told he’d been killed. By whom? And why?

Les Hauts de Hurle-VentEmily Brontë, illustrated by Charlotte Gastaut adapted by Boris Moissard

Heathcliff, his father’s favorite adopted son, is envied and loathed by his adoptive brother and falls in love with his adoptive sister who marries another. Through his rage he chases after revenge and in the process wreaks ruin and desolation on the families. A truly illustrious classic!
