Thrilling Tales from the Tree House

Last Kids on Earth

"Tu es tellement douée... Tu crées des choses à partir de rien". Elevée dans un très strict établissement catholique où rigueur et assiduité sont de mise, Sandy s'évade dans les dessins dont elle recouvre ses cahiers de classe. Mais surtout, elle a un don... La nuit, dans l'obscurité de sa chambre, de minuscules étoiles font leur apparition. Lorsqu'elle les attrape avant de s'endormir, ses oeuvres donnent naissance à des univers et des créatures fantastiques le temps d'une nuit ; le monde ne redevient comme avant qu'au petit matin. Un jour, à l'école, elle rencontre Morfie, une jeune fille mystérieuse qui connait son secret et qui lui voue une étrange fascination... Portée par un graphisme enchanteur d'une grande sensibilité qui n'est pas sans rappeler les univers oniriques de Miyazaki, Des lumières dans la nuit est une magnifique histoire sortie tout droit de l'imagination d'une jeune autrice bourrée de talent. Une ode à la créativité comme refuge face à la solitude, la peur et l'insécurité.

Des lumières dans la nuit
