Tempête Sur Shangri La

Classic storytelling from the former children's laureate Michael Morpurgo for Egmont's red banana series.

 At school she's called 'weedy Wendy', but Wendy isn't afraid of Slinky Grandad's snake. When she takes Slinky to school and he wriggles out of her school bag, Wendy will brave anything to rescue him.

 Red bananas are chapter books for newly fluent readers, suitable for NC Level 3 readers. They are carefully designed illustrated books for both entertainment and education, supporting children's understanding of how to read longer books. Red bananas introduce similes and wordplay to encourage an understanding of more literary concepts.

 Former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo needs no introduction. He is one of the most successful children's authors in the country, loved by children, teachers and parents alike. Michael has written more than forty books for children including the global hit War Horse, which was made into a Hollywood film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. Several of his other stories have been adapted for screen and stage, including My Friend Walter, Why the Whales Came and Kensuke's Kingdom.

 Michael has won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children's Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times. He started the charity Farms for City Children in 1976 with his wife, Clare, aimed at relieving the "poverty of experience. many young children feel in inner city and urban areas. Michael is also a patron of over a dozen other charities.

 Living in Devon, listening to Mozart and working with children have provided Michael with the ideas and incentive to write his stories. He spends half his life mucking out sheds with the children, feeding sheep or milking cows; the other half he spends dreaming up and writing stories for children. "For me, the greater part of writing is daydreaming, dreaming the dream of my story until it hatches out - the writing down of it I always find hard. But I love finishing it, then holding the book in my hand and sharing my dream with my readers." Michael received an OBE in December 2006 for his services to literature.

L'histoire vraie de deux frères dans la tourmente de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

La suite de l'histoire va bouleverser leurs vies pour toujours. Et Francis doit se jeter à son tour dans la gueule du loup. 

"Ce qu'ont affronté mes deux oncles m'a profondément marqué. Ce livre est, d'une certaine façon, le plus personnel que j'aie jamais écrit."
