People who are sorely missed when they disappear or when they are abolished. In the eyes of the authority, they are necessarily guilty and dispensable.

The puzzle creates a new title offering fresh narrative possibilities, bringing with it an original tale. A tale that seems always to have existed. Seven puzzles engendering seven original tales, illustrated in a 19th century fashion, whose relationships with the original tales create endless fun. 6 years + • 19 x 26 • 48 pages • Hardback • 14.50 euros

THE HEART OF THE SHE-WOLVES by Stéphane Servant
Celia and her mother Catherine, a one-time successful writer now suffering from writers’ block, go to live in the house of Celia’s longdead grandmother in the heart of a lost village in the mountains. The local residents seem far from happy about their return. Only Alice, a wild girl who lives outside the village with her father, is pleased to welcome Celia. When they were kids, the pair would play together, whenever Celia spent her holidays with her grandmother. Soon a strange relationship forms between the pair, as though Alice has found her double in Celia. On the plateau overlooking the village, a dark lake seems to have engulfed many secrets. Some in the village still believe in the secret legend of the she-wolf who commands a pack of wild beasts. In this land where past and present are intimately related, nobody forgets a single thing. 14 years + • 14 x 20.5 • 544 pages • 17.50 euros

One Saturday night, twelve teenagers meet up on the roof of a building overlooking the city. Alix has brought his camera along to film them. Each is to tell a story, a story that is important to them, a story they have never told anyone. These twelve teenagers want to tell the story of their lives, express their anger but also their desire for freedom, love and joy. Everything their parents would be frightened to hear. Perhaps they could project the film on big screens, in the city, so that finally they are heard? The camera homes in on each face and the voices start to speak: Dek tells of the day he shaved his head. Eïla tells of her brother Ali whom she’s only seen three times in her life. The only person missing is Flora, the girl with the funny Eastern accent, who turned up one day out of the blue. They send her text messages to join them. They want to hear her tale, she must have one to tell. 13 years + • 14 x 20.5 • 144 pages • 11 euros approx.
THE RUNAWAYS
by Sylvie Deshors
SEVEN DAYS UPSIDE DOWN by Thomas Gornet
What did happen in this junior high school boy’s life to make him spend a Sunday afternoon in the cemetery with his parents? We rewind through time and each chapter revisits a different day of the week, gradually revealing clues and, as in a criminal investigation, we gradually discover who is dead and how. From the day of the funeral rewinding back to the previous Sunday, the day of the fatal event. The tone of the novel is lighter than one might expect and often tongue in cheek, saving the reader from morbid reflections. Instead we share several days in the life of a family, a schoolboy and his friends. 12 years + • 14 x 20.5 • 68 pages • 8 euros
