Title: To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee - book
Summary :
1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
In a small Alabama town during the Great Depression, Atticus Finch raises his two children, Jem and Scout, alone. A thorough and honest lawyer, he is assigned to defend a Black man accused of raping a White woman. This brief summary may explain why this book, published in 1960—at the height of the struggle for Black civil rights in the United States—was so successful. But how did this novel become a worldwide cult classic? Harper Lee set her story in Alabama in the 1930s, but she wrote a universal novel about childhood. Told by Scout with great humor, this story is part fairy tale, part short story American and the coming-of-age novel. Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1961, To Kill a Mockingbird has sold over 30 million copies worldwide.

Title : Titeuf - Volume 9 - The Law of the Courtyard - Zep - comic book
Summary :
Titeuf has become a star, but that doesn't stop him from living like all the children of his generation. He does everything he can to stop his father from going to the amusement park with him, collects "megadonjonfight" cards, argues with Manu over the most powerful ones, and continues to hate soup (which was probably invented by a sadist) more than ever.

Zep looks, listens, and reinterprets the world of childhood with a truthful tone that appeals to all audiences. This highly anticipated ninth album is a true event in the publishing world. It has all the makings to play in the big leagues...
