Life is pretty complicated for Elizabeth Clarry. Her best friend Celia keeps disappearing, her absent father suddenly reappears, and her communication with her mother consists entirely of wacky notes left on the fridge. On top of everything else, because her English teacher wants to rekindle the "Joy of the Envelope," a Complete and Utter Stranger knows more about Elizabeth than anyone else.

But Elizabeth is on the verge of some major changes. She may lose her best friend, find a wonderful new friend, kiss the sexiest guy alive, and run in a marathon. So much can happen in the time it takes to write a letter…

Brontë Bravecoeur a dix ans lorsque ses parents sont malencontreusement tués par des pirates. Finis les gâteaux au citron de tante Isabelle, les thés avec le Majordome et les leçons d'équitation. Mais surtout, selon le testament, Brontë doit distribuer un trésor aux héritiers de sa famille, ou bien sa ville natale sera détruite. Commence alors un improbable et fabuleux voyage à la recherche de ses dix tantes : une cultivatrice d'orangers, une artiste peintre emprisonnée pour le vol d'un moulin à poivre, une vétérinaire de dragons, une musicienne de jazz devenue reine après avoir répondu à une petite annonce... Une mission de rien du tout pour Brontë ?

This is a tale of missing persons. Madeleine and her mother have run away from their former life, under mysterious circumstances, and settled in a rainy corner of Cambridge (in our world).

Elliot, on the other hand, is in search of his father, who disappeared on the night his uncle was found dead. The talk in the town of Bonfire (in the Kingdom of Cello) is that Elliot's dad may have killed his brother and run away with the Physic teacher. But Elliot refuses to believe it. And he is determined to find both his dad and the truth.

As Madeleine and Elliot move closer to unraveling their mysteries, they begin to exchange messages across worlds — through an accidental gap that hasn't appeared in centuries. But even greater mysteries are unfolding on both sides of the gap: dangerous weather phenomena called "color storms;" a strange fascination with Isaac Newton; the myth of the "Butterfly Child," whose appearance could end the droughts of Cello; and some unexpected kisses...

Un roman original, plein de tendresse et de fantaisie, avec en toile de fond une critique aigre-douce du développement personnel.

Depuis 20 ans, le frère d'Abigail a disparu et personne ne sait ce qu'il est devenu. Depuis 20 ans, les mystérieux Rufus et Isabelle envoient chaque semaine à Abigail les chapitres d'un livre de développement personnel pompeusement intitulé Le Guide.

Aujourd'hui mère célibataire et propriétaire d'un petit café à Sydney, Abigail s'est habituée à leurs mots réconfortants qui semblent toujours arriver aux moments où elle en a le plus besoin. Lorsqu'une des lettres l'invite à un week-end sur une île où elle pourra, selon ses correspondants, " découvrir la vérité ", les espoirs d'Abigail renaissent. Pourquoi a t- elle été choisie ? Serait-ce lié à la disparition de son frère ? Et que lui veulent vraiment ses deux mystérieux bienfaiteurs ?

A fairytale, a mystery, a history of hot-air ballooning, and a romance . . . A novel so brilliant, moving, zingy -- and Zingy -- that it could only have come from Jaclyn Moriarty.

Into their world comes socially isolated middle grader Listen Taylor, whose father is dating a Zing. Enter Cath Murphy, a young teacher at the elementary school that Cassie Zing attends, suffering from a broken heart. How will the worlds of these two young woman connect? Only the reader can know!
