David is 17 and lives in a mobile home in Crossroads, Mississippi, a hole lost forgot all ... Hell, or something like that ... David dreams of becoming a writer, to leave the fate of all mapped poor guy.
He has two friends, Paul and his brother Martin, and their grandmother who raised, Rosalie, which makes them sublime dishes of lobster stew.
One day at the end of the year, the French teacher invites a writer, in the vain hope to interest his students in his field.
For David, this is the big day! He will be able to submit texts to the author, Lebreton, hoping that this guide, it gives some advice ... The meeting runs
a completely different way, and David sees from there his life falling into a series of events all the more bizarre than the others.
Meanwhile, young people have disappeared in the region without leaving any trace. Kidnappings? Serial killer? Fugues?
Or something else, much more mysterious, that they neither knew nor wanted to resist?
This novel reads for teenagers by adults as well, writing is untied and pleasant, even if you feel drawn into a spiral of strange and disturbing facts. We follow David in his quest and at the end you feel a little disappointed this is already done ...
There is also a beautiful reflection on writing, on the direction we want to give his life, and the price you can put.
Magnificent!
Odile
