Anthony, Give or Take Five Minutes

Content : Thanks to magical clocks, the Time Benders can alter the course of time.

Anthony is the terror of the school. At least, he prefers teasing Robin or Camille rather than being the target of mockery himself. In fact, injustices infuriate him, and he loses his temper quickly. When he discovers a magical clock that allows him to go back five minutes in time, he hopes to solve all his problems. But nothing is easy, neither at school nor at home… What’s the point of a superpower if it doesn’t make you happy?

- The intrusion of the fantastic into the everyday life of a young hero with whom the reader can identify.
- The psychological accuracy of the author in portraying a touching child, faced with family problems and reacting awkwardly through bullying behaviour.

A series awarded numerous literary prizes: the Renaudot des Benjamins Prize, the Chronos Prize, the La Voix des Blogs Prize, the Littéralouest Prize…


About the author:
Born in 1987, Manon Fargetton grew up in Saint-Malo, among rocks and storms, her eyes fixed on the horizon. At high school, she wrote her first novel, which was published when she was eighteen. Since then, characters have lined up in her mind like a proper queue, and she does her best to listen to their voices in order to give them the existence in ink, paper, and pixels that they deserve. Manon now lives in Brittany. Alongside writing, she spent ten years working as a lighting manager in theatre. She now devotes herself entirely to her career as a novelist.
