Silver Fish

by Sylvie Deshors, ill. Monike Czarnecki
They call him "Calamity". Because he was the 13th to join the gang of the D Line, living in the corridors of the metro. There are only calamities in the cruel world of these children anyhow. Fortunately there is the tall Mila to get along with him. Although his only happiness is a tiny little thing, hidden in his shoe. The only safe place he has. A happiness made of paper, vowels and consonants, handed on by a tender grand-mother. Can it be the path to freedom at last?
