«La fourmilière» is the young adult novel by Jenny Valentine, published by L'Ecole des Loisirs in paperback (266 pages, in French).
At number 33 Georgiana Street, a building in an unremarkable London neighborhood, the tenants live without prying into each other's lives. Sam, a 17-year-old fugitive, only wants to go unnoticed; Bohême, a 10-year-old girl who looks after herself, needs a friend and chooses him. That unexpected friendship transforms the building's inhabitants.
The French edition, translated by Cyrielle Ayakatsikas, belongs to the Médium collection and was published in 2011.
Aimed at young readers aged 12 and up who seek realistic stories about family, friendship and belonging.
