Summer, a period conducive to reading. Whether at the beach or in the mountains, the moment is ideal for taking the time to read a little more. But what book to take in luggage, both for the big ones as for the little ones? Camille Bernasconi, communications manager in Editions La Joy de Réading, gives us his favorites every Thursday for this summer.
Jean Blaise, the cat who took himself for a bird
If you are looking for a small comic strip for children who are five and over, Camille Bernasconi suggests you to dive into the unique universe of “Jean Blaise, the cat that took a bird”. We follow the unconventional identity quest for Jean Blaise, a cat that discovers his true nature.
“A story full of charm and humor”
“Jean-Blaise The cat who took himself for a bird,” was imagined and drawn by Emilie Boré and Vincent, published by Éditions La Joy de Lire. A third volume will be discovered from the start of the school year.
Freak City
Teenagers will also have great discoveries to read this summer. With in particular Freak City, a novel with rose water for teens with a particularity: this story explores the theme of second love, often less discussed in children’s literature, and highlights the challenges and beauties of a relationship where communication goes beyond words.
“A touching novel which questions the standards of the first loves and opens the way to new experiences and personal discoveries.”
Freak City of Kathrin Schrocke, translation of German, is to be discovered in Éditions La Joy de Lire.
My grandfather’s river
Camille Bernasconi also warmly recommends “The river of my large -grand” by Rémi Farnos, a touching autobiographical comic strip that explores family ties and the mourning process.
“This delicate and colorful work takes us on an emotional journey”
Seraphine on vacation
A book also for grandparents who go on vacation with their grandchildren: Séraphine on vacation, from Albertine. For Camille Bernasconi, this book is an ideal companion for summer holidays.
“Each page is full of colorful details and joyful scenes”
Séraphine on vacation, from Albertine, is published by Éditions La Joy de Lire.
A summer at the water’s edge
Adolescence, as we know, is not a long, quiet river. For young people who are looking for emotions and adventures, Camille Bernasconi, communications manager at Editions La Joy de Lire, advises “a summer by the water” by Catherine Dabadie, to be discovered from 12 years old.
“A touching story, mixing romance, friendship and resilience”
Brioche and toast
Another favorite by Camille Bernasconi, the brioche and tartine comic strip, to be discovered from the age of 6.
“A moment of reading that promises to delight young and old thanks to its good -natured humor and vibrant colors”
Brioche and Tartine, signed by Violette Vaïsse, is published by Éditions La Joy de Read.
