Summary:
"In this powerful graphic novel, we meet Louis, a young boy who shuttles between his alcoholic dad and his worried mom, and who, with the help of his best friend, tries to summon up the courage to speak to his true love, Billie. Louis's dad cries - Louis knows this because he spies on him. His dad misses the happy times when their family was together, just as Louis does. But as it is, he and his little brother, Truffle, have to travel back and forth between their dad's country house and their mom's city apartment, where she tries to hide her own tears. Thankfully, Louis has Truffle for company. Truffle loves James Brown lyrics, and when he isn't singing, he's asking endless questions. Louis also has his friend Boris, with whom he spots ghost cop cars and spies on the "silent queen," the love of his life, Billie. When Louis and Truffle go to their dad's for two weeks during the summer, their father seems to have stopped drinking. And when Truffle has a close call from a bee sting, their mother turns up and the reunited foursome spend several wonderful days in New York - until they reach the end of the road, again. A poignant story of hope amid despair, a beautifully illustrated, true-to-life portrayal of just how complex family relationships can be, seen through the eyes of a wise, sensitive boy who manages to find his own way forward. Fanny Britt is a playwright, novelist and translator, living in Montreal. Her play Bienveillance won the Governor General's Literary Award for Drama (French). She is the author of the novel Les maisons. Isabelle Arsenault's artwork for Virginia Wolf (text by Kyo Maclear) won her the Governor General's Literary Award for children's literature (illustration) in English. She lives and works in Montreal. Fanny Britt and Isabelle Arsenault first collaborated on the graphic novel Jane, the Fox and Me, winner of the Governor General's Literary Award for Children's Illustration (French)."--Provided by publisher.
