My friend Harcelou

‘You can't bully someone who's happy.’ Célestin keeps making up excuses not to go to school, where he is being bullied. His worried mother finally takes him to the hospital for a series of tests. In the waiting room, he notices that his mother is being bullied by the mother of one of his classmates. So adults are also victims of bullying? This revelation changes everything for him. One day, while he is happily dancing and singing in the school toilets, his bully films him and gives him two options: either wear a ridiculous headband and in exchange he won't release the video, or release the video. What will Célestin decide? A short novel full of humour that invites the reader to reflect on the reasons for bullying and how to solve this problem through the eyes of a funny 12-year-old boy.
