Platatras

Description

Fans of Guillaume Long will be delighted to find in a flexible and paperback version the third of the adventures of little Robin, published for the first time in 2009.

This time Robin and his friend Vincent are playing the tightrope walk in a tree climbing course. With a great deal of recklessness and a bit of the unexpected, Robin ends up in the hospital with a splinted leg waiting for surgery. Visits are very little compared to injections, meal trays and doctors. Robin meets his roommate, a teenager familiar with the surgery department, who will convince him to escape with him, and thus save them the fatal operation. Nothing will go as planned and Robin will have to face the ordeal in the operating room on his own. This will earn her, a few days later, a certain success with the women of her school …

What makes the strength and charm of Guillaume Long’s albums is knowing how to encapsulate the fears of childhood, with a humor that defuses the drama, while maintaining a certain tension.

The understandable fright of the hospital!
