Comment:
An extravagant gaggle of characters, both by nature and by the extreme situations they find themselves in. The more you read, the more you are torn between laughter and tears and the more human the heroes become. A great book. [Published in La Revue des livres pour enfants. Best books of 2000]. The novel has become a modern children’s classic and has been adapted for television and the stage.
