in a hurry…
Synopsis
A witty, spirited and action-­‐packed adventure about an almost-­‐thirteen-­‐year-­‐old boy
named Nono, his world of confusions, fears and fantasies…
Nono has been brought up by his workaholic single father, a famous police inspector. He
longs to be as good a detective as his dad but constantly gets himself into trouble. His free-­spirited
mother disappeared and died when he was little. Gaby, his father's secretary,
cherishes Nono and recognizes the anguish of a child with a missing part. Police mascot and
his father's would-­‐be disciple, Nono struggles with a wildness he can't identify. It comes
from his mother. Two days before his bar mitzvah, he is sent off to his uncle’s to be
straightened out. Once on the train, the over-­‐imaginative boy is given one last chance to
prove himself. Together with charming grifter Felix Glick, an old acquaintance of his
father’s, he travels to the French Riviera and enters a world of disguises, crazy pursuits,
chansons and Zohara, a mysterious woman whose secrets will forever change Nono’s life.
Based on the beloved novel by David Grossman, The Zigzag Kid uses wit and humor to
explore the most fundamental questions of good and evil and to speak directly to adults and
teenagers.
