Lucile Finefly and her partner, Scarface, at the 3D (“Discretion, Determination and Deduction!”) private detective agency are faced with a special case.

HIS FANGS AND CLAWS Mathieu Robin Against the background of an old Indian legend, a young hero’s paranoid angst living in disturbing wild natural environment. Captivating and chilling. Young Marcus Coogan lives in constant terror of danger, and imminent peril. To counter his obsessional fears, he has gradually developed rituals, which turned into OCD, a disorder that makes his life hell. The vacation he spends with his family in a chalet lost in the heart of the Rocky Mountains is strewn with danger for the young Portland teen. Especially that muffled growling sound that he cannot locate out there in the hostile wilderness. What if that old Amerindian legend about the Black Mountain that overlooks the chalet was true, and the peak really is home to a monster? When his parents disappear after rambling in the forest, even the others are forced to listen to him: maybe Marcus was right after all. 12 yrs + – 224 pages – 13.5 x 21.5 cm – Softback – 12.50 ¤

THE ROOMIE Jean-Philippe Blondel Klapish’s Spanish Apartment for high school kids! What does it feel like when you break out of the family nest and (practically) learn how to fly by yourself? Romain’s folks have inherited a large apartment in his high school town. They can’t decide whether to sell or rent it. To the boy it’s his lucky break: “Hey, I could live there!” Goodbye the long bus journeys and goodbye the isolation of the family home. His parents finally come around to the idea but he has to find two roomies. They finally select Rémi, a geek (with matching clothes, gawky look, and general weirdness) and Maxime, his total opposite: popular and a girl-magnet! Romain is in for a year of great change, caught between the exhilaration of emancipation and the constraints of living with others.

HIGH HIGH
HIGHLINE Charlotte Erlih An “on-the-edge” character, caught between his love of risk-taking, terror of the void below and an incredible desire to live. They tossed a coin. He’d have to go. His challenge: A cord stretched between two towers. The emptiness below. An encounter with danger. That adrenaline rush. At this height, life is disorientating and light. What is life on the ground anyway? He steps out into the longest, wildest five minutes of his life. ADO Thoughts surge through his head, his life flashes before him, memories collide and the trauma of abandonment surfaces.

À cette hauteur, la vie est étourdissante. Flirter avec le danger, maîtriser la peur de la chute, c’est le défi qu’il s’est lancé. La traversée s’engage, les cinq minutes les plus longues et les plus denses de sa vie.

HOW I GOT RID OF MY MOTHER Gilles Abier Five insolent tales that mischievously toy with the clichés of motherly love. A mother so possessive that she wants to keep all her son’s friends away from him. Another whose ambition for her daughter to become a tennis champion gnaws on her. The intrusive mom who makes her child’s social life a living hell on Facebook. And as a counterpoint, a tetchy son who’s ashamed of his mother. The characters gradually encounter each other as the stories progress. An acerbic celebratory work about motherhood and adolescence, a time when children can be unforgivable.

NON FICTION I LIKE EUROPE: TEN REPORTS FROM EUROPE, FROM RIGA TO NICOSIA Author: Caroline Gillet Illustrator: Amélie Fontaine In partnership with France Inter radio This book presents Europe today, through the accounts of ten young people from different horizons. An innovative documentary portrait of Europe. In 2014, a dozen young Europeans took to the airwaves on France Inter to describe their lives as Europeans. Here, Caroline Gillet and Amélie Fontaine draw up a lively, moving, illustrated portrait of Europe, far from the bureaucratic image of the European Union. Their perspectives reach beyond problems of daily life and address issues affecting us all, north and south: feminism, love, sexuality, politics, etc. The illustrations create a form of graphic novel and provide a thought provoking complement to the words.
LIFE IN DESIGN Author: Céline Delavaux Illustrator: Stéphane Kiehl Unbeknown to ourselves, we use the work of designers everyday. This book helps us discover the designer’s world, somewhere between invention and art, by presenting the designs that have conquered the world. From the Panton chair, to the Goldfinger fork, via the Bic ballpoint, the Stabilo, the Dyson vacuum cleaner and a whole host of other daily objects, this book addresses the issues of utility and aesthetics that designers have to face. A pop picture book to help readers to look at the world around them in a different way.

DENIS DIDEROT: “NO TO IGNORANCE” CEUX QUI ONT DIT Raphaël Jerusalmy Even from a young age, Denis Diderot refused the restrictions on knowledge imposed by the bourgeois morality and clergy of his time. A desire in him gradually grew to make knowledge accessible to all. After a long struggle, he managed to publish his vast Encyclopedia, his own brainchild. His work had a huge impact and challenged the domineering influence of the obscurants of the day. The principles of Diderot’s fight – to share knowledge, without restrictions, taboos, or moral and religious prescription - are still relevant today.

DOGS AND CATS THROUGH THE EYES OF SCIENCE Author: Antonio Fischetti Illustrator: Sébastien Mourrain Copublished with Universcience – Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie A book with a certain sense of humor that introduces the latest ethological studies into the various aspects of dogs’ and cats’ behavior and their relationship to man. When a dog barks, what does it mean? And why do dogs wag their tails sometimes to the right sometimes to the left? What do cats use their whiskers for? And what happens if we stroke them the wrong way? A non-fiction illustrated picture book that takes us into the world of our favorite pets and explores every facet of their behavior.
