Chocolate Holidays. Adventures of the Family from Cherbourg

This summer, the brothers Jany, already familiar to us from other books in the "Adventures of the Family from Cherbourg" series, go on vacation by the sea, to the "Scarlet Cliffs" hotel. The program includes: a secret expedition around the hotel during quiet hours, a unique performance by the "Pipolo" circus, and of course, the famous bicycle race "Tour de France," which the Jany brothers will finally see with their own eyes. Dangerous adventures, wild laughter, and pillow fights - the holidays promise to be unforgettable, especially for the parents... The author of this book is the Frenchman Jean-Philippe Arru-Vinyo - one of the six Jany brothers that the story will be about. To be more precise - Jean B., the second eldest. Arru-Vinyo has loved reading since childhood. In 1984, he published his first "adult" novel, for which he received the "Best Debut" award, and a few years later released his second book - a children's one. Today, Arru-Vinyo, the author of about thirty books, heads the children's literature department at the largest independent French publishing house "Gallimard." He created his series "Adventures of the Family from Cherbourg," so beloved by children and parents in France, in collaboration with renowned illustrator Dominique Corbasson, whose works can be seen in magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Madame Figaro, and Vanity Fair. In spirit, the "Adventures of the Family from Cherbourg" remind of the famous "Little Nicholas" by René Goscinny and Jean-Jacques Sempé: the heroes of the "Family" are the same cheerful, restless boys who are always up to some mischief. The publishing house "KompasGid" has already released three books about the Jany brothers - "Sugar Omelette," "Flying Cheese," and "Soup from Goldfish." "Chocolate Holidays" (2009) is the fourth book in this series. For children of middle school age. 3rd edition, corrected.
