Surprise! we can get to make children dream with books which contain neither vampires nor thieves. No doubt this book is a bit of "lived" or of the author or his entourage or most likely both. This allows children (especially large families) to say that ultimately, they live in a family like others with the same difficulties of life in the community 7 days 7.
For us, the book is already in its third player, from 9 to 12 years, and back down to 10. The first 2 (a girl, a boy) loved. We'll see for the 3rd, but we have not much doubt.
The great moment of satisfaction is to hear them laugh when reading some passages, and see taped to the book, read in the day during the Thanksgiving holiday. Will there be a sequel?
