Detective Mole
by Camilla Pintonato
Meet Oscar. He’s charming, he’s unflappable, and he’s a worthy successor to Jessica Fletcher, Hercule Poirot, and Sherlock Holmes. Oscar is a chef who has always dreamed of being a detective. He knows that the secret of being a detective is having an eye for details, and he’s an expert at sniffing out what others don’t. He also knows the tricks of the trade: from making identikits to putting the missing pieces together. Now all he needs is a case. What a lucky coincidence, an animal has gone missing. He can finally put his theory into practice and show everyone his natural talent! An irresistible detective story with an adorably clumsy hero who discovers what the most important quality of a true detective really is.
“L’humour et l’ingéniosité de l’histoire, signée Camilla Pintonato, tiennent en particulier dans l’écart: entre ce que dit le texte et ce que montre l’image; entre ce que comprend le lecteur et ce que constate le Sherlock d’occasion.”
Le Temps
“Camilla Pintonato s’adresse à un auditoire enfantin et son histoire ressemble à une devinette. Le décalage entre ce qu’entreprend le joyeux détective fera rire les enfants, qui à leur tour se transformeront en limiers zélés.”
