Detective Nosegoode and the museum robbery

Marian Orłoń

A famous picture is in danger of being stolen, the headquarters of the Circle of the Aficionados of Checkers has been robbed and an elusive pickpocket strikes at the celebrations to mark the hundredth anniversary of the founding of Lower Limewood. This small town seems to have attracted quite a number of thieves - a good job they can count the brilliant Detective Nosegoode and his faithful Cody among their residents.

Vrai de vrai, papi?

texte, Émilie Rivard

Louis adorait se rendre chez son grand-père pour qu'il lui raconte toutes sortes d'histoires farfelues. Mais maintenant, c'est à lui de faire des prouesses d'imagination pour redonner le sourire au vieil homme qui est privé de sa mémoire. Sa "méchante" maladie l'empêche de se souvenir et l'isole. Il va même jusqu'à oublier qui est Louis, ce qui chagrine bien sûr son petit-fils, qui en profite cependant pour prendre le rôle d'un joyeux lutin qui aura tôt fait de les faire sourire tous les deux. [SDM]. Un récit réaliste, plus doux qu'amer, mais qui n'élude pas la tristesse que provoque la maladie d'Alzheimer sur la famille du vieil homme. De rigolotes aquarelles rebondies allègent toutefois cette thématique difficile dont on aborde le rapport des enfants et le malade avec, peut-être, un soupçon d'idéalisme. [SDM].
