The Unexpected Tale of Bastien Bon Livre

by Clare Povey

Bastien Bonlivre is a boy with a vivid imagination and a red notebook containing the unfinished story his parents left behind.

Across Paris, bestselling author Olivier Odieux is plotting something sinister with his villainous brothers—something that could spread fear far and wide.

As Bastien and his friends Alice, Theo, and Sami uncover a dangerous secret, they’re swept into a race across the city. Can they stop Olivier before he steals the ending that rightfully belongs to them? (Book 1)
