partout... C'est déjà si dur d'avoir à le traîner! Je sais, je sais... Je ne devrais pas utiliser le mot « cul ». Ce n'est pas un mot très « littéraire »...

Puis cette fille, « Kilodrame », m'a laissé un message. Elle avait un moyen de me libérer compllètement de mes problèmes de poids et de mes obsessions de bouffe. Une idée de carnet... Oui, j'ai maigri. Oui, j'ai enfin découvert la vie. Mais pas celle que j'imaginais... » -- 4e de couvThe probability of everything
Par Sarah Everett. 2023
A heart-wrenching middle grade debut about Kemi, an aspiring scientist who loves statistics and facts, as she navigates grief and…
loss at a moment when life as she knows it changes forever. Eleven-year-old Kemi Carter loves scientific facts, specifically probability. It's how she understands the world and her place in it. Kemi knows her odds of being born were 1 in 5.5 trillion, and that the odds of her having the best family ever were even lower. Yet somehow, Kemi lucked out. But everything Kemi thought she knew changes when she sees an asteroid hover in the sky, casting a purple haze over her world. Amplus-68 has an 84.7% chance of colliding with earth in four days, and with that collision, Kemi's life as she knows it will end. But over the course of the four days, even facts don't start to feel true to Kemi anymore. The new town she moved to that was supposed to be "better for her family" isn't very welcoming. And Amplus-68 is taking over her life, but others are still going to school and eating at their favorite diner like nothing has changed. Is Kemi the only one who feels like the world is ending? With the days numbered, Kemi decides to put together a time capsule that will capture her family's truth: how creative her mother is, how inquisitive her little sister can be, and how much Kemi's whole world revolves around her father. But no time capsule can change the truth behind all of it, that Kemi must face the most inevitable and hardest part of life: saying goodbye. A stunning portrait of grief, loss, and that moment in life that splits the world into "before" and "after," Sarah Everett's middle grade debut is an unforgettable reading experience, from each insightful phrase, all the way to the explosive ending"On voudrait que l'enfance soit sans nuages. Elle est pourtant jalonnée de questions, d'angoisses et de chagrins qui font souffrir,…
mais aussi grandir. Pour y faire face et les surmonter, les enfants ont besoin de pouvoir en parler... Ou qu'on leur en parle. Parce que l'imagination est le mode privilégié pour communiquer avec eux, les petites histoires de Sophie Carquain les aident, mine de rien, mieux qu'un propos pédagogique. Des difficultés de la nuit aux grands problèmes du monde (guerres, publicité, obsession de l'argent...) en passant par la jalousie, le divorce, le racket, la différence..., l'enfant est avide de vérité. Encore faut-il aborder ces sujets "à distance", dans son langage à lui, avec des personnages qui lui sont chers: ours, souris, petites princesses, lapins, lune, soleil... Grâce à ce livre, les parents trouveront un support pour aborder les soucis quotidiens des enfants. Ils puiseront dans les pages "Côté parents" des éléments de réflexion pour mieux les comprendre." -- 4e de couvOur fifty states
