Description:
When fourteen , neurons squirrel, a best friend obsessed with boys and that the guards chained, life is not easy every day. Since the death of his father, Aurélie Laflamme wondered where it came from. Would she have been forgotten on earth by aliens?
To top it all, his mother seems to have bursts of hormones. Would it have a link with Denis Beaulieu, director of the school, it seems increasingly close? Aurélie no question to let it also softens the brain! But nobody is immune from lightning ...
Amid this whirlwind, Aurélie wishes one thing: finding its place in the universe.
My opinion:
First a word on the book itself I thought was really nice of vibrant colors, the sequins , a cord that closes like a real diary. Then inside at the beginning of each month, full of small illustrations that summarize what will be covered in the month. In short I loved this presentation and immediately gave me desire to immerse myself in history.
For cons, I warn you in advance, if you open this book is that you enjoy children's literature necessarily because unlike other books belonging to this category, this one is really young. Both in style and in the reflections of Aurelia.
I also Aurelia sometimes found was less than his age, or so it was I who was more mature at that age because I do not remember having this kind of concern to 14 years (well not all what) .
It is therefore the knowledge of Aurélie, 14 year old girl, a student at a college for girls only (because she did not want to mix with boys, boys suck, like boys * not take the voice of Florence Foresti course *) , who lives alone with his mother, his father having died some years ago, making it also often melancholy, and makes them ask lots of questions. Aurélie
therefore tells us his daily (yes it's a little view of a newspaper) with lots of humor , sometimes sad, and I found Aurélie intelligent and endearing .
To summarize, it is a book quite touching , perfect for a relaxing read, I liked Aurélie, and although it is very young, I certainly try not let on.
