It's Not the End of the World | Livre | Fiction | Roman | 2014 | Anglais | Auteur : BLUME Judy | Éditeur : Atheneum | Mots clefs : Anglais, Langue | Résumé : Karen couldn’t tell Mrs. Singer why she had to take her Viking diorama out of the sixth-grade showcase. She felt like yelling, “To keep my parents from getting divorced!” But she couldn’t say it, and the whole class was looking at her anyway. Karen’s world was ending. Her father had moved out of the house weeks before; now he was going to Las Vegas to get divorced, and her mother was pleased! She had only a few days to get the two of them together in the same room. Maybe, if she could, they would just forget about the divorce. Then the Newman family could be its old self again—maybe. But Karen knew something she didn’t know last winter: that sometimes people who shouldn’t be apart are impossible together.

Shoe Wars (from the creator of Tom Gates ) | Livre | Fiction | Roman | 2020 | Anglais | Auteur : PICHON Liz | Éditeur : Scholastic | Mots clefs : Anglais, Langue | Résumé : 'As with the Tom Gates books, every page here is dynamic and attention-grabbing, packed with cartoons and typeface trickery.' Financial Times 'An original and outrageous storyline gives plenty of scope for absurd inventions, loathsome baddies and heroic deeds from underequipped underdogs. This is a tale oozing creativity and packed with pen and ink illustrations, exciting and expressive typography and visual jokes.' Booktrust 'Shoe Wars is an exciting story with lively characters that offer plenty of laughs [...] Like Pichon's other books, it can be enjoyed as a funny, action-packed page-turner, but also as a comic book of cartoons so that children can keep returning to their favourite bits again and again.
