Description
The Lunch Club are in for an unforgettable summer in the sixth volume of Dominique Pelletier's hilarious graphic novel series.
School’s out for the Lunch Club and the gang have very different ideas on how to spend their summer vacations. Mr. Peabody’s hitting the beach, Tia’s literally cleaning up the swamp and Leo has a can’t-miss, get-rich-quick plan.
Leo lands a big customer, the mysterious Madame Celeste, who gives him a horoscope that warns of a perilous plot. Could it be connected to the creature Tia discovers in the swamp? Sort of like a giant fish, but with one glowing eye and . . . feet? And what exactly does this swamp thingy have to do with mystic crystals, ancient texts and fuzzy slippers? All will be revealed in this hilarious, over-the-top new adventure!
About the author
DOM PELLETIER a commencé à dessiner des caricatures dès son jeune âge et il n’a jamais déposé ses crayons depuis. Il a étudié la communication graphique à l’Université Laval de Québec. Puisqu'il adore le grand air, il a planté des arbres et voyagé partout dans le monde avant de commencer à travailler comme concepteur de jeux vidéo. Après une rencontre marquante au Salon du livre de Québec, Dom s’est associé aux Éditions Scholastic pour publier sa populaire série comique 100 blagues! Et plus.... Après la publication de 50 de ces livres hyper amusants, il a réorienté sa création vers l’hilarante série de bandes dessinées Les timbrés. Il vit avec sa femme à Saint-Liboire, au Québec.
DOM — a.k.a Dominique — PELLETIER started drawing cartoons at a young age and has never put his crayons down, studying graphic communications at Laval University in Quebec City.

After a fateful meeting at the Quebec Book Fair, Dom teamed up with Éditions Scholastic on their bestselling joke book series. Fifty very funny books later, he has translated his joke book success into the hilarious graphic novel series, The Lunch Club (Les timbrés). He lives with his wife in Saint-Liboire, Quebec.
