« Depuis le jardin, j’entendais les conversations des adultes dans la cuisine voisine, le rire de mes parents, naturel et sonore. Je voyais mon frère transpirer à grosses gouttes, jouant avec une bande de garçons au coin de la rue. Tout le monde paraissait à sa place, sauf moi.

1. Donc, donc.. - Il y a un truc qui me dérange avec ce livre. C'est même pas le livre en lui même, c'est juste que la catégorie dans laquelle est mis ce livre est incompréhensible, vraiment. Pour vous avoir entre et ans c'est être un enfant ? Manifestement puisque ce livre est dans la catégorie "découvertes pour enfant". J'apprends en même temps donc que les enfants qui découvrent savent lire aussi bien l'anglais alors qu'ils ne parlent certainement même pas correctement leur langue maternelle. A part sa, rien d'anormale.
