Deux ans de vacances #2

The second chapter of this French adaptation of Jules Verne's survival adventure finds a group of boys battling a ferocious storm at sea, their small wooden boat tossed by crashing waves beneath a dark, rain-lashed sky — the tension leaping right off the cover. Brémaud, Chanoinat, and Hamo bring a striking urgency to the image, with the young castaways clinging together as towering cliffs loom through the mist behind them. Published by Vents d'Ouest in 2018, this middle volume promises the heart of the ordeal — and the cover makes clear the stakes have never felt more real.
