Une nouvelle serie pour les preadolescents de l’autrice quebecoise bien-aimee Valerie Fontaine! Milo, Ines, Romy, Adam et Leon sont des eleves de la classe de Mme Clemence. Rien ne les predestinait a devenir amis, mais lorsque Mme Clemence decide que ses eleves travailleront sur un projet d’entrepreneuriat, les cinq eleves se retrouvent a devoir s’entraider dans leur projet individuel.
Milo a brise le vase de sa grand-maman, un objet precieux qu’elle cherit depuis des annees. Panique, il decide de ramasser les debris en esperant que personne ne s’en rendra compte. Au meme moment, son enseignante lance un projet de classe a faire en groupe : recolter de l’argent pour une cause qui leur tient a cœur. Milo decide qu’il ramassera de l’argent pour acheter un vase identique a celui qu’il a brise, tout en gardant ce secret pour lui... Entre son pere qui croit qu’il recolte de l’argent pour un equipement de soccer, sa sœur qui a decouvert son secret et qui menace de le denoncer, et ses projets d’entrepreneuriat qui s’averent plus compliques que prevu, Milo reussira-t-il a remplacer le vase sans que personne ne s’en apercoive, evitant ainsi de briser le cœur de sa grand-maman?
From beloved Quebecoise author Valerie Fontaine comes the first book in a new middle-grade series. Milo, Ines, Romy, Adam, and Leon are students in Mme Clemence’s class. They weren't destined to be friends, but when Mme Clemence decides that her students will work on an entrepreneurship project, they find themselves having to help each together with their individual projects.
Milo has broken his grandmother’s precious vase that she's cherished for years. Panicking, Milo decides to stash away all the pieces, hoping that no one will notice. At the same time, his teacher assigns his class a project: raise money for a cause close to their hearts. Milo decides that he'll use the project as a cover to collect money to buy a vase that's identical to the one he broke, keeping the entire thing a secret.
Between his father who thinks he's raising money for new soccer equipment, his sister who discovers his secret and threatens to tell on him, and his entrepreneurship endeavours that are getting more complicated than anticipated, will Milo be able to replace the vase he broke before anyone notices and avoid breaking his grandmother's heart?
About the author
VALÉRIE FONTAINE est une auteure-enseignante-maman. Toujours un pied dans l’imaginaire, elle écrit et note du matin au soir. On ne sait pas si elle invente ses drôles d’histoires pendant qu’elle danse en cuisinant, par contre on sait qu’elle dévorerait bien des livres pour souper.
VALÉRIE FONTAINE is an author-teacher-mother. Always imagining, she writes and takes notes from morning to night. We don't know if she invents funny stories while she dances and cooks, but we do know that she eats books for dinner.
