ariver's current takes Leo and his sister Lucile on a fantastic journey. They move from one encounter to another, some surprising, some humorous or playful, and others more serious or disconcerting, but with each step, they pass to another level on their path of life.

This inspiring tale is filled with wonderful adventures and surprises. Every chapter is flowing with poetic writing which makes their journey even more magical.

Excerpt

nous attachons notre embarcation à un arbre et sortons nos affaires pour la nuit. Il fait beau : une simple couverture suffira. Lucile est sur le point d'ouvrir sa boîte de galettes, quand des dizaines de minuscules personnages, coiffés de bonnets verts ou jaunes, déboulent vers nous de toute la vitesse de leurs courtes jambes. Ils piaillent, crient, soufflent et bavent à qui mieux mieux. Ils tendent les bras vers nous, comme s'ils voulaient nous saisir et nous avaler. Dans quel guêpier sommes-nous tombés ?
