Journal d’une ado expatriée
Text and inside illustrations by Véronique Martin-Place
Léa, a young teenager of 13 years old living in Nantes, loves theater and her girlfriends she knows since always. The only cloud on the horizon is that she lives alone with her dad. Her mom has been living in Chicago for six months for professional reasons. Her parents decide to reunite the family. That is why, Léa and her dad must leave France for the US. This announcement is far from satisfying Léa, a lively teenager who is determined to take her life in hand.
This story will appeal to young teenagers dreaming of living abroad as well as those who are directly affected by expatriation. They will identify themselves into Léa’s change of moods, joyful moments and fears. A novel for preteens and young teenagers who are expats or not, or are just about to become one.
