I still draw every day with the same pleasure, perhaps even with growing pleasure. I open my little pot of ink, dip in my little pen, my bamboo, I pick up my pencil. Every day it’s the same ritual, the same gestures, of which I never weary, and I say to myself: ‘How lucky you are...’ Toto, he was the first apprenticeship of humour, he plays a social role, of initiation and sharing in the school playground: ‘Hey, have you heard this one?’ and of the shared pleasure of laughter and making people laugh. It was also with him that I learned to control narration. At 6-7 years old, it’s very difficult to remember a joke, to tell it with the right tone to prepare the punch line. It’s serious work. We’ve all heard our son, our nephew or the neighbour’s daughter trying to tell jokes. We’re understanding and we smile, a little embarrassed by their awkwardness.

Enid (8 and a half ), Hortense (11 and a half ), Bettina (14) and Geneviève (16) have to face life with all its ups and downs: not forgetting their parents’ ghosts which have the unfortunate habit of appearing when you least expect them, garbed in a variety of costumes!

Hortense 11 ans et demi Bettina 14 ans Geneviève 16 ans et l’aînée, Charlie Enid 8 ans et demi Le surlendemain, c’est Charlie qui voulait à tout prix sortir les poubelles. Deux jours après, c’était Geneviève. Quelle mouche les piquait toutes ? Ce soir, j’ai voulu savoir. En me cachant entre les arbres, j’ai suivi Bettina (trois fois de poubelles cette semaine !). Elle est arrivée à la grille, en même temps que le camion de ramassage. Un des éboueurs a sauté du marchepied. La Vill’Hervé, notre maison, se trouve au bout du bout. Au bout d’une allée, au bout de la falaise. Son adresse : impasse de l’Atlantique. Les copains qui viennent nous voir s’exclament toujours : « Waoow ! Super romantico ! ». Mouais. Sauf un truc pas du tout romantico : les poubelles. Avant le passage des éboueurs, la sœur qui est de poubelles doit remonter toute l’allée jusqu’à la route avec les sacs. Avec son petit diamant à l’oreille gauche, ses nattes tressées de perles, son tatouage sur le bras, il était renversant ! Top Hollywood ! On aurait dit Donny Jepp dans Corsaires des Antilles ! Je le dévorais des yeux. Bettina aussi. Elle avait son sourire idiot, les joues rouges, et un sac-poubelle dans chaque main. « Bonsoir ! », a dit Donny Jepp avec un sourire Califragilistik ! « B… b…’soir ! », a bredouillé ma sœur. Elle l’a regardé emporter les sacs comme si c’était le trésor maya. C’est lourd. Des fois ça se déchire. Pour le romantico, on repassera ! On ne se précipite jamais pour la corvée. Sauf ce soir ! Ce soir, Bettina a quitté le canapé pour claironner : « Je suis de poubelles ! » On l’a fixée avec des yeux soupçonneux. Elle qui ne veut jamais y aller. En plus… c’était déjà son tour avant-hier soir ! Elle a siffloté, s’est arrangé les cheveux, la jupe, et elle est sortie. « À demain ! », il a dit, tandis que le camion s’éloignait. Bettina est restée immobile, son poing posé sur le cœur, un air comme un nuage qui se sent léger. Je n’ai pas osé me montrer. Vite, j’ai remonté l’allée avant elle. Voilà. Mes quatre sœurs se trimballaient les poubelles juste pour voir un sosie de Donny Jepp leur dire « Bonsoir ! » et « À demain ! ». Qui a dit que la corvée de poubelles, ce n’était pas romantico ? 10 11 int-4soeurs-OKOK.indd 10 24/01/13 14:08 int-4soeurs-OKOK.indd 11 Hortense 11 ans et demi Bettina 14 ans Geneviève 16 ans et l’aînée, Charlie LA SŒUR QUI VEUT DIRE QUELQUE CHOSE Dans l’escalier, je croise Hortense. « Hé, ho… » « Plus tard ! » Sans écouter, elle sort cueillir des fleurs pour la visite de la vieille belette (« Qu’elle s’imagine pas qu’on attend son misérable chèque mensuel dans l’austérité ! »). Reste Geneviève… À quatre pattes sur le parquet du salon, elle me voit et hurle : « STOP ! Pas avec tes godasses pourries ! J’ai tout ciré à cause de la vieille ourse ! » Espoir ultime… Basile. L’amoureux de Charlie. Forcément dans la cuisine. J’ouvre à peine, qu’il fait : « Chhuut ! » Et désigne le gâteau à trois étages qu’il confectionne… Motus et silence, please : chef-d’œuvre ! Démarrer la journée avec tante Lucrèce au téléphone… Dur !… Je raccroche... Sois zen, Enid. Tu as du boulot. Quatre sœurs, ça multiplie par quatre n’importe quel travail d’information. Prévenir, ici, c’est tout répéter au moins huit fois... Et encore, quand on n’a pas de visiteurs ! On peut aussi brailler l’info au hasard... Mais notre vieille baraque est grande ! Des étages ! Des couloirs ! Des recoins ! Pour être entendu, mieux vaut être réunis. Ce dimanche donc, je commence par Charlie, qui coud là-haut. J’ouvre sa chambre : « Hé, ho ! j’ai un truc à dire... » Elle me coupe net : « Ah non ! ». Tant pis. Je m’isole dans un coin, Ingrid et Roberto sur les épaules. OK, ce n’est pas leurs oignons de chats... mais je DOIS le dire à quelqu’un ! Alors je leur annonce : « Tante Lucrèce a une gastro, elle ne viendra pas ce soir, elle a décommandé ! » Puis je souris. Pour une fois Charlie portera une robe. Pour une fois la maison fleurie, propre, astiquée, n’aura pas l’air de l’estomac d’une chèvre. Et on bouffera autre chose que les lasagnes d’HyperPromo. Les chats aussi sourient. Elle en a déjà assez de reboucher l’accroc d’une jupe qu’elle ne met jamais sauf les soirs, comme ce soir, où tante Lucrèce, cette vieille corneille, vient nous casser les pieds à dîner ! Je bats en retraite. 8 24/01/13 14:08 int-4soeurs-OKOK.indd 8 Pourtant qu’est-ce qu’on l’attend, le chèque de la tata ! Mais je me tais… Côté Bettina, musique à donf dans les oreilles… Même pas la peine d’essayer de parler. 9 24/01/13 14:08 int-4soeurs-OKOK.indd 9 24/01/13 14:08 bayard Enid 8 ans et demi LA SŒUR QUI VOIT HOLLYWOOD À SA PORTE Bayard Group Press - Publishing - Internet www. bayard-editions.com www.bayard-rights.com Graphic Novel Scarlett by Susan Schade and Jon Buller Scarlett is the most adorable little speckled pussycat.

On the road, she bumps into Trotter, her dog friend who also escaped from Pafco Studios.

Bayard Group Press - Publishing - Internet www. bayard-editions.com www.bayard-rights.com Graphic Novel Poverello by Robin When John Coal, a film actor who is now the rising star, accepts the role of Francis of Assisi, he does not for one second imagine where it will lead him... And what a meeting he is about to make! Key points: • An ambitious graphic novel, 600 pages • A book you fall in love with! • By the author of Fils de Rembrandt, a graphic novel published in 2010 by Sarbacane Technical Specifications Format: 180 x 242 mm Pages: 600 Retail price: 22,90 € Age group: 10 and up Content Under the affable but shrewd management of his agent Tonio, John Coal is a rising star of the silver screen. Already rich and famous, the young actor is offered an original part by the famous director Jean-Pierre Lübeck: Poverello, the name Francis of Assisi was familiarly known by… At first John thinks this is one of Tonio’s jokes, but Lübeck is such a great name that he decides to accept. So he puts heart and soul into the film, and discovers the character of Francis, his carefree youth, his radical conversion and his charisma. Little by little, shooting the film makes him call his own life into question and face a choice: to go on with the glitzy life he is leading under the spotlights, or to make peace with his family and assume his responsibilities to the woman he loves… More than the story of Poverello’s life, this graphic novel recounts the inner journey of a man who is seeking answers. Between a modern chronicle of life on a film shoot and an intimate study of the mid-life crisis, Robin brings us his personal vision of the Saint of Assisi with great delicacy and extraordinary humanity. How, almost in spite of himself, a man with his feet firmly planted in the third millennium can find himself making friends with Poverello… About the author bayard Robin, alias Pascal Gindre, was born in 1969. After studying at an art school, he became art director with Bayard presse. He has also illustrated many books (Bayard, Nathan, Gallimard, Actes Sud, Sarbacane) and published Le fils de Rembrandt (Sarbacane, 2010). His clean, emotional line possesses astonishing freshness: drawing remains a great pleasure for him, one he knows how to share with his readers. He lives in Essonne.
