Piglettes

di Clementine Beauvais (Autore)

Clementine Beauvais (Traduttore)

Pushkin Children's Books, 2025

A wickedly funny and life-affirming coming-of-age story, beloved by writers such as Katherine Rundell and Pandora Sykes

Winner of the 2016 Prix Sorcières - the biggest French prize for children's books!

Mireille, Astrid and Hakima have just been voted the three ugliest girls in school by their classmates on Facebook. But does that mean they're going to sit around crying about it?...

...Well, yes. But not for long! Climbing onto their bikes, the friends set off on a summer road trip to Paris. With luck, they'll find fame, adventure and happiness on their journey, and still have time to scoff plenty of delicious food (and drink the odd glass of wine) along the way.

Piglettes is a hilarious, beautiful and uplifting story of friendship, fun and setting yourself free.
