by Christophe Mauri
• In a Middle-Age-like kingdom, an unexpected new hero, with a most important commitment:
achieving the biggest mischief he can!
• An exhilarating fantasy series, for the 10 and up, in a magic universe full of imagination,

Book 1. The First
Mischief of
Mathieu Hidalf
In Astria, Mathieu Hidalf
is known to one
and all. As a matter of
fact, he was born the
same day as the king.
He is used to imagining
an even more enormous mischief each year for the
king’s birthday. And for his tenth birthday, Mathieu
is determined to surpass himself ! The year
after, he should at last get into the incredible Elite’s
school, an organisation training the future heros of
the kingdom. But for now, his mischief could fail;
the fearsome Estaffes brothers just broke the truce
they made with the Astrian kingdom. That will
not stop Mathieu from getting away from two terrible
baby-sitters, visiting the forbidden school of
the Astrian Elite, witnessing a
secret prophecy… and seing
the triumph of his huge, hilarious
and amazing mischief!

«The master of prank, the new hero of a totally crazy universe.»
Le Figaro Littéraire
« Mathieu Hidalf is the rebel Prince of the big mischief and
imagination, Little Thumb’s cousin. A novel that keeps one up.»
Stephan de Pasquale, book reviewer for RTL
(national radio station).
« At the beginning, you just think that book is brilliant, captivating,
light and uncontrollably funny. The problem is that the
more you progress in the book, the more you see how worse it
is: essential. Beware! Mathieu Hidalf is coming...»
Timothée de Fombelle, author of Tobie Lolness and Vango.
The author
Christophe Mauri is 23 and already as talented as a great
author. He has been writing since he was 14. He is currently
studying Modern Humanities and keeps on writing the
adventures of his hero. « It all started with the Bougetou contract
Mathieu Hidalf signed with his father. With this contract, I felt
I was getting off the beaten path I had not been able to avoid in
youth literature until then. I took some distance with my hero.
I loved him without being him and this
is something I could not do when I was
15 or 16. And I wanted to create a whole
universe around this idea of a contract
between father and son. A child imbued
with the adult’s world, very demanding
and clever, and however far from being
mature emotionally. »

Un monde en couleurs
by Philippe Nessmann
ill. Laurent Cilluffo
Animals as you never saw them before!
An original and clever gift book!
Spectacular, mysterious, elegant or grotesque, the skeletons
of the vertebrates that inhabit the Earth today carry
within them the imprint of an evolutionary process that
has lasted over several billion years.
impressive photographs of animal skeletons are enhanced
by a combination of black and colourful backgrounds,
with flaps and folders.
The short texts full of humour unveil how animals have
been shaped by their environment and needs, casting
a new light on evolution, putting forward parallels
that usually go unnoticed and explaining fundamental
differences between apparently close animals.
Our whole environment is filled with colours, and yet only
rarely do we stop and really consider them. This title throws
a different light on colours: where does red come from or
why is the sky blue Why is green the colour of Islam and
why do Chinese women get married in red
The book explores the different aspects of six colours:
red, blue, green, yellow, black and white. For each colour,
the book explains:
• the colour in nature (where it comes from, what it is
used for...)
• the colour in history
• the colour in the world (its significance in different cultures)
• the colour in art
• the colour in everyday life
This original angle allows us to explore a wide variety
of topics, such as the Chinese revolution, the evolution
of Islam, paintings by Yves Klein or the process
of photosynthesis.

Timo at the Park
Timo is at the park and getting bored. He sees very busy children. «They
are playing», Mr Pigeon explains. «You should try», he adds. Timo starts
with the sandpit, then drives the wooden boat, plays hide-and-seek, climbs
the rope footbridge, and ends up on the slide...
Ouch! He lands with the nose in the sand. Fortunately, he is picked up by a
little girl who cuddles him and they become friends for life. From now on,
Timo won’t ever get bored again at the park!

fingers, they have carved sticks, made knots or piles of stones. With this book, learn
about figures and numbers by travelling all around the world.
Discover the 1 in China, the 2 in Ghana, the 5 in Viet Nam, the 10 in Saudi Arabia,

Since she has been taken away from her mother, Luna
does not talk anymore. But she cannot stop thinking...
Just by closing her eyes, she can hear the lullaby her mother
used to sing, remember what parted them or tell her
about her life with the nice woman who takes care of her.
And even if her short ride with her mother has no tomorrow,
even if Luna has to go back in a foster family, even if
she hardly understands, she forgives in advance, keeps on
hoping and waits...
