Malcolm déteste les animaux. Tous les animaux. Alors, quand, lors d'une classe verte, il se retrouve métamorphosé en tortue, c'est la catastrophe ! Et le pire, c'est qu'il change d'espèce à chaque fois qu'il s'assoupit ! Tour à tour chat, mouton ou cochon, Malcolm découvre un monde délirant, bien plus drôle que celui des humains. Retrouvera-t-il un jour son corps de garçon ? Ce qui est sûr, c'est qu'il ne regardera plus jamais les animaux comme avant !

AniMalcolm - La vie animale est un combat sauvage...

Three hilarious novels of heart, humour and wishes gone wrong, from the new star of children's books - by award-winning and bestselling author, David Baddiel.

 Illustrated by Jim Field - winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.

 THE PARENT AGENCY: Barry said, a third time, "I wish I had better parents!" And then suddenly the entire room started to shake.

 Barry Bennett hates being called Barry. In fact it's number 2 on the list of things he blames his parents for, along with 1) 'being boring' and 3) 'always being tired'.

 But there is a world, not far from this one, where parents don't have children. That's far too random for something so big and important. In this world, children are allowed to choose their parents.

 For Barry Bennett, this world seems like a dream come true. Only things turn out to be not quite that simple.

 THE PERSON CONTROLLER: Fred and Ellie are twins. But not identical (because that's impossible for a boy and a girl). They do like all the same things, though. Especially video games. Which they are very good at. They aren't that good, however, at much else - like, for example, football, or dealing with the school bullies.

 Then, they meet the Mystery Man, who sends them a video game controller, which doesn't look like any other controller they've ever seen. And it doesn't control any of their usual games. When the twins find out what it does control, though, it seems like the answer to all their problems. And the key to all their wildest dreams. At least it seems like that.

 ANIMALCOLM: Malcolm doesn't like animals. Which is a problem because his family love them. Their house is full of pets. What the house is NOT full of is stuff Malcolm likes. Such as the laptop he wanted for his birthday.

 The only bright spot on the horizon is the Year 6 school trip, until Malcolm realizes it's heading to.oh no. The farm.

 Over the next days, Malcolm changes. He learns a lot about animals. More, in many ways, than he would like. He learns what it's really like to be an animal.

 It does make him think differently. And speak differently. And eat differently. But will he end up the same as he was before? Because sometimes the hardest thing to become is. yourself.

Baddiel fait le portrait sans complaisance d'une société qui voit dans la mort d'une princesse une tragédie et remet les choses en perspective ; les tragédies dont pas besoin de princesse pour être tragiques. Baddiel n'a rien perdu de sa verve, il y ajoute cette fois une gravité poignante en abordant des thèmes aussi sérieux que le sida, l'amour et la fidélité. Un livre impressionnant. " The Times.
