    DesRochers, Jean-Simon

    Abstract

    Nous découvrons le protagoniste de ce roman, Rémi Roche (qui, décidément, entretient de troublantes similitudes avec un certain Jean-Simon DesRochers), alors qu'il se rend à une entrevue qu'il a promise à un doctorant. Ce dernier, nommé Charles Tobnik, lui a fixé rendez-vous dans une conciergerie du Quartier latin, au studio même où, vingt-cinq ans plus tôt, poète famélique, il s'échinait sur les vers bancals de son futur premier livre. Quatre cents pieds carrés de moquette industrielle grise étalée au-dessus d'une entrée de garage souterrain.

    Les Dragons est l'histoire d'un coup de foudre entre adolescents plus normaux qu'il n'y paraît. Un cri d'amour pour ces enfants que notre société cache, mais qui disent tant de nous. Jérôme a quinze ans. Il est en colère contre ses parents qui sentent le vieux. Contre le monde qui le rejette. Contre les monstres qui l'empêchent de dormir. Contre lui surtout. Sur décision de justice, il est interné dans un centre de soins pour adolescents. Là, il rencontre les dragons, ces enfants détruits par leur famille, l'école ou l'époque.

    Picoult, Jodi

    Abstract

    Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper and Small Great Things, pens her most riveting book yet, with a startling and poignant story about the devastating aftermath of a small-town tragedy. Sterling is an ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens—until the day its complacency is shattered by a school shooting. Josie Cormier, the daughter of the judge sitting on the case, should be the state's best witness, but she can't remember what happened before her very own eyes—or can she?
