Reseña: La nueva novela gráfica de las creadoras de Jane el zorro y yo uno de los cómics más premiados y alabados por la crítica en los últimos años. En este libro narrado desde el punto de vista de un preadolescente con padres separados con una prosa evocadora y unas imágenes que son auténtica poesía gráfica las autoras abordan temas como la depresión y el alcoholismo pero también el torbellino emocional que supone el paso a la edad adulta. Con la ayuda de su mejor e inseparable amigo y el alivio cómico de su hermano pequeño Louis se enfrentará a sus miedos esos fantasmas entre los que transcurre su día a día y deberá encontrar el valor necesario para hablar con la chica más bonita e inteligente del instituto. Poco a poco los fantasmas amarillos de un esperanzado futuro sustituyen a los fantasmas azules del miedo. Louis entre fantasmas recibió entre otros el Prix ACBD Quebec concedido por la crítica canadiense y fue finalista en otra decena de convocatorias. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this powerful new graphic novel from Fanny Britt and Isabelle Arsenault we meet Louis a young boy who shuttles between his alcoholic dad and his worried mom and who with the help of his best friend tries to summon up the courage to speak to his true love Billie. Louiss dad cries ― Louis knows this because he spies on him. His dad misses the happy times when their family was together just as Louis does. But as it is he and his little brother Truffle have to travel back and forth between their dads country house and their moms city apartment where she tries to hide her own tears. Thankfully Louis has Truffle for company. Truffle loves James Brown lyrics and when he isnt singing hes asking endless questions. Louis also has his friend Boris with whom he spots ghost cop cars and spies on the silent queen the love of his life Billie. When Louis and Truffle go to their dads for two weeks during the summer their father seems to have stopped drinking. And when Truffle has a close call from a bee sting their mother turns up and the reunited foursome spend several wonderful days in New York ― until they reach the end of the road again. A beautifully illustrated true-to-life portrayal of just how complex family relationships can be seen through the eyes of a wise sensitive boy who manages to find his own way forward.
