The Adventures of Kamo

The life of a French schoolboy is not a pound of raisins! Especially if your name is Kamo and you are the great-grandson of a famous revolutionary. What to do if your favorite teacher has a split personality? And how do you learn English in three months so you can do it well? Or another thing: by Monday you need to write an essay ‘One morning you wake up and find that you have become an adult. In fear, you run to your parents' bedroom: they have become children again. Write the continuation.’ Four dazzling stories are told by Kamo’s best friend, who knows exactly how it all happened!

The book by the maestro of contemporary French literature and educator Daniel Pennac tells the adventures of two French schoolboys who find themselves in incredible, sometimes fantastic situations. These are stories about love and disappointment, about home and school, about parents and teachers, about true friendship and mutual understanding, and about everything that happens when you are ten years old, when a long and wonderful life lies ahead.
