A true enthusiast, the protagonist, Laleh, dreams of dancing ballet professionally. To what extent do passion and ambition blur as she strives to keep her dream alive? This is, in fact, one of the story\u2019s greatest strengths, as the author skillfully navigates complex themes while keeping them accessible. She masterfully employs the conventions of the comic book medium, crafting a well-structured narrative with impeccable storytelling. A classic coming-of-age tale that transports us to a Montreal of a bygone era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The felt-tip brushstrokes give the impression that the illustrations are taken from fashion magazines.

Bringing one of our oldest legends to life, it introduces us to a big-hearted teenage werewolf, growing up in a dysfunctional but loving family, and surrounded by an amazing circle of friends. Young readers immediately identify with this poor soul from another era! Locked away every night since his unfortunate transformation, he causes quite a stir in the city when he escapes one night just as his friend disappears. Solidarity and mutual aid are thus at the heart of this engaging investigation with a well-crafted plot.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The illustrations succeed in creating a sense of intimacy amidst the freezing winter. The fluid lines, warm colors and expressive faces enhance this story where friendship is put to the test.
