Friendship, concrete and banana peels

A novel for young readers aged 10 and over. Edgar, Gaston and their friends are determined to fight against the concreteization of Basse-Terre, in Guadeloupe, the chlordecone scandal and the proliferation of shopping areas. How? 'Or' What ? With imagination and bananas! Lots of bananas! "A picaresque novel the way we like them, with an outcome one would wish for all fights of this type. »(The Children's Book Review - BNF) “In simple, yet powerful terms, this novel addresses the highly political issue of chlordecone poisoning of overseas residents and over-concrete. It is interesting to have chosen to treat the ecological question from the point of view of these territories often forgotten and under-represented in children's literature… This little book is undoubtedly worth a detour ”(Charlotte Guillon-Legeay - Institut International Charles Perrault ) “This novel is awesome! While placing herself at the height of a child, Céline Gourjault aptly addresses essential themes such as ecology, sustainable development, friendship, illness, the richness of intergenerational relations or even bullying at school. A rich and sparkling novel to discover and devour without hesitation! »(Aude - La Cabane Des Diplodocus) “The book offers a great lesson in solidarity, friendship and optimism. The writing and the rhythm of the story make reading easy and happy. "(Bibliographical notes) Cover: Jessica Das
