Beschreibung
Franny is a feisty 14-year-old with a gift for turning her thoughts and feelings into drawings. She lives in Montreal with her father, a sewing machine repair man by day and inventor by night. When he’s invited to pursue his research in Japan, Franny is sent to a small town far away from Montreal and all her friends. She will meet a part of her family she has never heard of before and will have to adapt to a new school and a new life. Soon, she will discover that this is the town where her mother lived before she died, when Franny was very young. This leads Franny to investigate the mystery behind her mother’s death and discovers a terrible truth.
Autor*in
Stephanie Lapointe
Stephanie is a jack-of-all-trades who loves to do everything - even the dishes because she says it relaxes her. When she sings, records, plays the piano or plays characters in TV series or movies, she feels good. Even if she does not particularly like to get on a plane (especially not the little ones with doors through which the air from outside infiltrates), Stéphanie does it occasionally to go and shoot different documentary projects; his feet landed in Peru, Rwanda, Sudan, Mali and, closer to home, in Haiti. It is thanks to one of her friends (who does not have her tongue in her pocket) that Stéphanie embarked, one day, on the adventure of writing. Stephanie was still in bed on the morning of October 2016 when she learned that one of her books "Grandfather and the Moon" had just won the Governor General's Award. Today, Stéphanie lives in Montreal in an all-white and pink house she built with someone she loves. She loves to stay in her pajamas for a long time in the morning, open her computer and imagine stories.
