«L'enfant Océan» is the young adult novel by Jean-Claude Mourlevat, published by Pocket in paperback (151 pages, in French).
One night, Yann wakes his six older brothers, all twins, because their father has threatened them. The seven set off on foot towards the west, guided by their fascination with the sea. Along the way, every adult they meet —a social worker, a truck driver, a gendarme, a baker— offers their own version of this escape.
The work was originally published in 1999; Jean-Claude Mourlevat received the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award in 2021.
