Par Karen Bass. 2016

up the highest hill in search of cell phone reception, Kyle hesitates; his Cree grandmother has always forbidden him to go near it. There’s no stopping Jared, though, so Kyle reluctantly follows. After a night spent on the hilltop - with no cell service - the teens discover something odd: the plane has disappeared. Nothing in the forest surrounding them seems right. In fact, things seem very wrong. And worst of all, something - a creature that should only exist in legend - is hunting them. For senior high readers. 2016.The biggest poutine in the world

Par Daniel Pennac. 2004
Un court roman en forme de monologue. Un auteur à qui l'on vient de décerner un prix pour l'ensemble de…
son oeuvre doit prononcer une allocution de remerciement d'une durée d'un peu plus d'une heure.

Son laïus se transforme graduellement en un jeu de massacre qui ne laisse personne intact, pas même le discoureur. Habile, roublard et vif. 2004.Le roman des Jardin
Par Alexandre Jardin. 2005
Dois-je avouer que, soudain, j'en ai eu assez de me cacher publiquement en écrivant des romans de bon garçon ?…
Que mes petites épopées sur l'extase conjugale m'ont paru, la quarantaine venue, bien pâlichonnes au regard des folies de ma famille ? Bon sang, me suis-je dit : jusqu'à quand auras-tu peur d'être un Jardin ? Il faut admettre que le sang des Jardin est un breuvage à haut risque. Une gorgée, et bas les masques ! Cap sur les sentiments incorrects ; sur des fièvres bizarres, loufoques, grisantes ; sur ces hurluberlus qui font ma tribu et qui embellirent leur vie de magnifiques audaces... Le résultat est là : dans ce roman vrai, je perce mes abcès de silence. Je vagabonde enfin au sein de ce clan qui, à lui seul, incarne la fantaisie, l'irrégularité en tout et un moment d'incroyable liberté. Pour la première fois, je redeviens un Jardin. Suis-je digne de ces grands fouleurs de principes ? Je leur dois, en tout cas, la meilleure part de ce que je suis.Game plan

"My name is Calvin Sinclair, I'm eleven years old and I have a confession...I killed my brother". It's the summer…
before grade 6 and Calvin Sinclair is bored to tears. He's recently moved from a big city to a small town and there's nothing to do. It's hot, he has no friends and the only kid around is his six-year-old brother Sammy who can barely throw a basketball as high as the hoop. So Cal occupies his time by getting his brother to do almost anything: from chasing wasps to tromping through rose bushes. And Sammy is all too eager-- as long as it means getting a "Level" and moving one step closer to his brother's Eagle status. But when Cal meets Aleta Alvarado, a new girl who shares his love for Goosebumps books and adventure, Sammy is pushed aside. Cal feels guilty but not guilty enough to change. At least not until things at home start falling apart and he's left wondering whether Sammy will ever complete his own journey. Grades 5-8.
