Le Secret du Dieu Ours #[nn]

Three young adventurers stand silhouetted against a deep midnight-blue sky, gazing up at a massive, forbidding rock formation that looms over a snow-dusted mountain landscape — two of them carry makeshift weapons, their backpacks at their feet, the whole scene radiating that electric mix of courage and trepidation. Yann and Henriet have crafted something with real atmosphere here, wrapping a children's adventure in the kind of moody, starlit grandeur more often found in grown-up thrillers. Published by Dupuis in 2018, Le Secret du Dieu Ours looks like a thoroughly compelling journey into mystery and wilderness.
