NOUS, LES ENFANTS DE L'ARCHIPEL
Seacrow Island
Written by Astrid Lindgren
Translated into French by Alain Gnaedig
L’école des loisirs, France, 2022

Fish, swim, craft, play or dream: the islands off Stockholm are the perfect place for all summer adventures. It is on one of these islands, Saltkråkan, that the Melkerson family arrives, to occupy an adorable old holiday home. There is the father, Melker, who will perhaps find inspiration for a future book. The beautiful Malin, to whom the boys make eyes. The intrepid Jonas and Niklas, ready for any daring. And little Pelle, who loves animals and would really like to adopt one. It will last a day, a season or a lifetime, who knows? The time it will take to be happy.
