I hate you!” She went out with a laugh and he woke up, really surprised. He was in his bed! And he didn’t remember having gone to bed… So he had not dreamt! But who put him to bed?! The crazy old man? If he had fought against him all night long, this must have produced such a hullabaloo. “Chelsea ?” “Yes ?” The little girl was curling her hair. “Did you hear some noise from the attic last night?” She got annoyed. “No, I didn’t and you are going to be late!” Jeremie jumped out of bed and got dressed. It was all unbelievable! He was sure that he had fought against the crazy old man all night long. But he did not feel tired. This was absolutely incredible. However, Jeremie decided that for the time being, he would not try to understand anything. He put on his old knee-ripped jeans, the one which madehim look an adventurer.

From time to time, Chelsea fixed him with mocking eyes. But he couldn’t, and he wouldn’t say anything to anyone. And who knows? May be the old man would harshly punish and Jeremie was well aware how powerful the man was. He knew he couldn’t make a show of his importance before such a chap. The man could have killed him…

À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Bruno Houin est déjà auteur d'une pièce de théâtre à succès, "Les rats", jouée au Festival d'Avignon mais il aime plus que tout écrire pour les enfants et les adolescents. Il signe ici le premier opus d'une trilogie fantastique qui emmène un enfant solitaire dans un monde parallèle. Ce livre est un roman initiatique où l'auteur valorise l'intelligence, l'imagination et le courage présents, pour lui, chez les enfants comme d'indiscutables ressources gravées au plus profond de leur être intérieur… et parie qu'ils sauront prendre les bonnes décisions pour forger leur destinée dans le monde futur.
