Louis parmi les spectres / Isabelle Arsenault et Fanny Britt

​Louis a onze ans, une mère qui a peur de tout, un père qui pleure quand il boit et un petit frère obsédé par la soul américaine. Louis rêve de déclarer son amour à Billie, une compagne de classe indépendante et solitaire. Mais dans la réalité, rien à faire : dès qu’il s’approche d’elle, Louis se tétanise comme un clou rouillé. Accompagné de sa famille, de son fidèle ami Boris, et de ses spectres (ceux du passé comme ceux de son monde intérieur), Louis apprendra la vraie définition du courage.
