L’Éveil

Michel Vaillant is not one to back down from a challenge. But when car fanatic Pog throws down the gauntlet, calling on Michel to join him in the legendary Cannonball Run, the French legend has doubts. And rightfully so: what racing champion in his right mind would join a YouTuber in an illegal street race across the US, with nothing to gain, and everything to lose? Then again, car maker Vaillante is looking to make a splash with its latest model, and Michel doesn’t stand to lose anything… as long as he isn’t caught. So begins a breakneck chase from New York to Los Angeles, in an effort to break the all-time record, and come out in one piece. Which might just be harder than Michel thinks, with someone looking to sabotage the record attempt and cause maximum damage. Can Michel reach the finish line before his enemies catch up with him?

A school that encourages students to sleep in, misbehave, solve problems by erasing them off the board, and wreak havoc wherever they go… sounds perfect, right? For most people in Monster Land, yes! But all Flop wants to do is learn. Much to his parents’ great disappointment, he insists on getting to school on time, on reading books, keeping a clean room and playing with his telescope and chemistry set. As shown in a series of short stories, it’s tough being a smart nerd in a place full of dummies who love to destroy things for the fun of it!
