Summary
La longue marche de sept frères guidés par leur benjamin， en direction de l’Océan， vue et racontée par 21 narrateurs。
Une nuit， Yann réveille ses six frères aînés， tous jumeaux。 Il faut fuir : leur père a menacé de les tuer。 Irrésistiblement attirés par l’Océan， les sept enfants marchent vers l’Ouest。
De l’assistante sociale au routier qui les prend en stop， du gendarme alerté de leur disparition à la boulangère qui leur offre du pain， chacun nous raconte à sa façon un peu de leur incroyable équipée。

This was strange and sad and poetic and I wanted to love it for the style？ And for the cover。 But it felt dark and lonely and heavy and pointless。But pretty。

Cette histoire m’a un peu brisée， je crois。 Tendrement farfelue， elle m’a donné envie de lire tous les autres Jean-Claude Mourlevat。

J’ai aimé se livre car il m’a fait rappeler l’histoire du petit poucet

This charming little French language tale is about a tiny boy called Yann， the youngest of 7 brothers， and the older 6 are all twins。 Yann tells the brothers he has overheard that their father is going to kill them and they set off on a journey west to the ocean。The chapters are then given like a series of witness statements after the fact， and the opening one is chilling， suggesting Yann will not survive the tale。 Through these witness statements （including statements from the brothers） we foll This charming little French language tale is about a tiny boy called Yann， the youngest of 7 brothers， and the older 6 are all twins。 Yann tells the brothers he has overheard that their father is going to kill them and they set off on a journey west to the ocean。The chapters are then given like a series of witness statements after the fact， and the opening one is chilling， suggesting Yann will not survive the tale。 Through these witness statements （including statements from the brothers） we follow the journey west。 The first chapter drops you right into the action and it takes the whole book to slowly unravel the mystery of what is happening here and why。It is a children's book， so it would be unfair to be overly critical of some fantastical elements （a boy so small he can hide in a shopping bag for instance， or that you would get 3 pairs of *identical* twins。 Although twins run in families， that is not true of identical twins。） None of the fantastical elements distracted me from what was an enjoyable tale。 The conclusion is a little open considering this is a children's book， but that need not be a bad thing。 。。。more

What a strange little book！ I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked this off of the shelf。 Definitely not what I got！An intriguing tale， I’m not really sure it belongs in juvenile fiction。 While there are glimmers of hope and frequent compassion and kindness， it is a pretty dark story。 There is also a little bit of profanity in it。It’s difficult to even put a finger on when the story is set。 It feels very fairy-tale-like， but there are some modern elements in it。I’m sure my description is not What a strange little book！ I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked this off of the shelf。 Definitely not what I got！An intriguing tale， I’m not really sure it belongs in juvenile fiction。 While there are glimmers of hope and frequent compassion and kindness， it is a pretty dark story。 There is also a little bit of profanity in it。It’s difficult to even put a finger on when the story is set。 It feels very fairy-tale-like， but there are some modern elements in it。I’m sure my description is not doing this book justice。 What I can say is that is was a quick read， just a couple of hours， so grab it and give it a go。 See what you think！ 。。。more

Encore un roman de Jean-Claude Mourlevat et un nouveau coup de coeur。 Décidemment avec lui ça va devenir une habitude。Ici， on suit une histoire dramatique， sorte de réécriture du petit Poucet où l'on va suivre 7 frères， 3 paires de jumeaux et un tout petit bonhomme prénommé Yann。 Issu d'une famille paysanne， avec des parents durs et peu enclins aux cajoleries， ils ne sont pas à la noce。 Mais ils sont soudés。 Un soir， Yann entend ses parents se disputer et énoncer une grave menace。 Pour secourir Encore un roman de Jean-Claude Mourlevat et un nouveau coup de coeur。 Décidemment avec lui ça va devenir une habitude。Ici， on suit une histoire dramatique， sorte de réécriture du petit Poucet où l'on va suivre 7 frères， 3 paires de jumeaux et un tout petit bonhomme prénommé Yann。 Issu d'une famille paysanne， avec des parents durs et peu enclins aux cajoleries， ils ne sont pas à la noce。 Mais ils sont soudés。 Un soir， Yann entend ses parents se disputer et énoncer une grave menace。 Pour secourir ses frères， il les entraîne dans un drôle de périple vers l'ouest et l'océan qui l'a toujours fasciné。 La narration est très originale puisqu'on suit leur histoire de façon chronologique mais à travers un prisme de points de vue extérieurs à la fratrie et par les yeux chacun des frères de Yann （que l'on entendra lui qu'à la toute fin du roman）。J'ai adoré cette façon de raconter。 le style de Mourlevat m'a encore une fois complètement embarquée dans cette aventure terrible et dramatique。 le lien qui unit les frères Doutreleau est fort， tissé d'une confiance indéfectible en ce petit bonhomme à la sagacité surprenante。 J'ai aimé croisé les destins de tous ceux qui les ont aidé ou pas dans leur quête de liberté。 Et la révélation finale laisse comme toujours chez cet auteur une petite pointe d'amertume。Un superbe roman à mettre entre toutes les mains。 。。。more

À travers différents points de vue， nous suivons la fuite de Yann et ses frères vers l'océan。 L'œuvre originale est une adaptation jeunesse du conte du Petit Poucet， la bande dessinée donne une aura encore plus sombre et mystérieuse à cette histoire avec le dessin et les couleurs de Stedho。 À travers différents points de vue， nous suivons la fuite de Yann et ses frères vers l'océan。 L'œuvre originale est une adaptation jeunesse du conte du Petit Poucet， la bande dessinée donne une aura encore plus sombre et mystérieuse à cette histoire avec le dessin et les couleurs de Stedho。 。。。more

Even though the language was harder to read this was a great book I loved the way it was written and the pictures I loved everything about this book I truly loved the story and the way it took you on an adventure

Juvenile lit for the one in all of us who is without a natural pair。。。。 and even more so， just doesn’t fit in。 Yann is such an amazing character。 His parents are tragic even when they are at their best。 I loved the “pull” Yann felt for his brothers。 Both tender and brittle。

I didn't realize until it was over that it was a fairy tale。Joey asked me to read it， to discuss with him。 He really enjoyed it and thought I would， too。 I did enjoy it， and it's a quick read。 I didn't realize until it was over that it was a fairy tale。Joey asked me to read it， to discuss with him。 He really enjoyed it and thought I would， too。 I did enjoy it， and it's a quick read。 。。。more

This is a french children's book written in french for kids age 10 and up。 It's based on the story of Tom Thumb by Perrault and is set in modern day France。 You would think a kids book would be a snap to read for someone with intermediate level french language skills， but to my surprise， I found myself looking up a lot of words。 It was a good challenge， though。 The story had lots of interesting characters， and the end was a surprise。 This is a french children's book written in french for kids age 10 and up。 It's based on the story of Tom Thumb by Perrault and is set in modern day France。 You would think a kids book would be a snap to read for someone with intermediate level french language skills， but to my surprise， I found myself looking up a lot of words。 It was a good challenge， though。 The story had lots of interesting characters， and the end was a surprise。 。。。more

I really loved this book。 Each chapter is a different person in the book telling their story。 There are 7 brothers and lots of people they meet。

Love this story。 From the first few pages the reader is pulled into the story。 The different accounts of characters each adding a piece of info to the story。 Loved it。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 This book included an adventure that you wouldn't even think would occur。 Because Yann was missing， you wanted to continue to read so you could figure out what had happened to him。 But I only gave a four out five rating because it was just so depressing。 This book just made you want to reach a lending hand out to the boys。 This book included an adventure that you wouldn't even think would occur。 Because Yann was missing， you wanted to continue to read so you could figure out what had happened to him。 But I only gave a four out five rating because it was just so depressing。 This book just made you want to reach a lending hand out to the boys。 。。。more

How depressing。 I mean， I was already depressed， so there’s that。 But this didn’t help。 Man。 What a broken world。

I was surprised with how much I really enjoyed this book！ I loved the way it was written and enjoyed the different perspectives given through out。 I wished that there was more information about what happens to the main character instead of the vague ending given but it was still a neat journey to be on with the characters。

Very nice story about a French little person， Yann， with 6 brothers， 3 sets of twins。 Yann overhears his parents talk about “killing all seven” and thinks it means all 7 boys。 So they run away。Each chapter is narrated by one of the boys or their parents or people who come across them on their journey。 Not for all kids。 Takes a sensitivity。

I was misty-eyed in a couple of times while reading this book。 Sometimes， it is a nice to just let yourself be taken for a ride by what you read。 But what's surprising even of me is that this is just a simple。。。 children's book！ I would expect me to be deeply touched by a biography or by a semi-autobiographical book but not by a children's book。 Maybe I was just tired or something but this book made me squirt some liquids from my eyes。This is a retelling of Tom Thumb， a character of English folk I was misty-eyed in a couple of times while reading this book。 Sometimes， it is a nice to just let yourself be taken for a ride by what you read。 But what's surprising even of me is that this is just a simple。。。 children's book！ I would expect me to be deeply touched by a biography or by a semi-autobiographical book but not by a children's book。 Maybe I was just tired or something but this book made me squirt some liquids from my eyes。This is a retelling of Tom Thumb， a character of English folklore dating back in 1621。 Charles Perrault （1628-1703）。 Mourlevat's character is not a small as thumb but a midget called Yann。 He is a 10-year old youngest of a family of three pairs of twins。 "He is like a period of a long sentence" says one of the witnesses-narrators of the story。The scenes on how the siblings help and protect each other particularly the youngest Yann and the youngest twins are just heart-tugging。 Maybe I am also the youngest in the family so that probably hit the inner recesses of my amgydala （that part of the brain where emotions reside）。 The only criticism I have for this book is the weak ending。 It left a big question both for the main character and of course to what the author would like to send as a message。 In my mind， the brothers went back to their parents and the latter became for loving and caring。But even with that make-believe， it is still a very likable book。 。。。more
