The life of a French schoolboy is no picnic! Especially if your name is Kamo and you're the great-grandson of a famous revolutionary. What do you do if your favorite teacher has a personality disorder? And how do you learn English in three months—like this, so you're good at it? Or another thing: you have to write an essay by Monday on 'One morning you wake up and discover you've become an adult. Terrified, you rush to your parents' bedroom: they've become children again. Write a sequel.' Four magical stories told by Kamo's best friend, who knows exactly how it all happened! This book by the master of modern French literature and educator Daniel Pennac tells the adventures of two French schoolchildren who find themselves in incredible, sometimes fantastical, situations.

These are stories about love and disappointment, about home and school, about parents and teachers, about true friendship and mutual understanding, and about everything that happens when you're ten years old, when such a long and wonderful life lies ahead. 'The Adventures of Kamo' was first published by Samokat in 2003, in four separate books.
