New Releases by Lauren Child

Dans une langue qui lui ressemble, c'est-à-dire pétillante, malicieuse et entraînante, Clarice Bean relate son quotidien et ses relations tumultueuses avec son enseignante (qui est totalement dépassée par la vivacité de son élève!), son égocentrique grande soeur, son frère en pleine crise d'adolescence, un petit frère trop collant, un père obnubilé par son travail, une mère débordée et un grand-père à moitié sourd qui perd un peu la tête. Heureusement, la fillette peut compter sur l'amitié de Betty Belhumeur, qui partage sa passion pour les aventures littéraires de Ruby Redford, une jeune détective à laquelle elle voue une admiration sans bornes et qui est pour elle une véritable source d'inspiration. -- Une série surfant sur une vague à la limite du baroque et du rocambolesque, qui se lit comme une ode rafraîchissante à la spontanéité, au franc-parler et à l'imagination enfantins. Les multiples jeux typographiques, qui reflètent l'énergie débordante de l'héroïne, les illustrations au trait vif et coquin, de même que les extraits des lectures favorites de Clarice confèrent à l'ensemble une esthétique à mi-chemin entre le "scrapbooking" et le journal intime qui ajoute à la saveur de cette galerie de personnages hauts en couleur ... dans laquelle on ne peine toutefois pas à reconnaître ses proches! [SDM].
