Les aventures d'Aline #3

The third volume of this French adventure series sends young Aline — shown here in her bright yellow jacket on a sandy shoreline — to one of France's most breathtaking landmarks, Mont Saint-Michel, whose dramatic silhouette rises majestically in the background. Alongside her on the cover stand a group of figures in medieval dress, hinting at a story that bridges past and present at this legendary coastal abbey. Published in 2005 by I.D. l'édition, Les Gardiens du Mont Saint-Michel looks like a charming blend of history and adventure for younger readers.
