Content : What a shock for the Blondel family — they’ve just discovered they’re sharing their home… with three ghosts! Together, they’re determined to help them find peace.

At the Blondels’, things are done the old-fashioned way: everyone addresses each other formally, they dream of living in a grand château and, above all, sweets are strictly forbidden. A rule Brunehilde happily ignores by hiding stashes of treats… even under her pillow.
But good grief and crumpets! Someone has been stealing her secret sweets! Determined to unmask the thief, Brunehilde stumbles upon Isaac Blum — a ghost, no less — who has been haunting the house with his parents since 1942.To the delight of both children, a rather unusual cohabitation begins. At last, Brunehilde has found a friend who matches her very own brand of oddness! A friend who never got the chance to say goodbye to the girl he loved before he vanished…What if Brunehilde could help him find her?

About the author:
Florence Medina was born in 1968 and lives in Paris. She has been an actress, a waitress (like almost every actress… or nearly!), a receptionist, a public relations assistant, an all-round helper in a theatre company, and even a plasterer. Eventually, she decided to put her restless hands to use in a noble profession: working as a French Sign Language interpreter. Apart from that, whenever she can, she reads and she writes. As a child, she devoured fairy tales, then moved on to anything she could get her hands on. As for her own writing, she simply follows wherever her characters choose to lead her.
