Le Roi Arthur

Mes parents n'ont jamais vraiment aimé la vie à la campagne. Alors que moi j'adore les vacances dans la vieille ferme de grand-père. J'adore l'écouter parler de son enfance de petit paysan et de Joey, son cheval. Peut-être même me racontera-t-il un jour l'histoire de ce vieux tracteur auquel il tient tant. Mais parfois, je sens que quelque chose le tourmente... Quel est le secret de grand-père ? Et comment puis-je l'aider ?

Le secret de grand-père

En 1947, le tout jeune Arthur, séparé de sa soeur Kitty, est embarqué, comme des milliers d'autres orphelins, sur un bateau pour l'Australie. Sa vie est désormais là-bas, jalonnée d'épreuves, de rencontres extraordinaires, et illuminée par sa passion de la mer. Des années plus tard, Allie, la fille d'Arthur, s'apprête à accomplir une traversée en solitaire. Son but : franchir les océans pour gagner l'Angleterre et retrouver sa tante Kitty.

Seul sur la mer immense

Jo-Jo is a donkey and he does not like it, not one bit. He works hard from dawn until dusk selling melons on the streets of Venice. Then one dark and stormy night, Jo-Jo discovers that it is up to him to save the city from the sea.
