«Nouvelles d'ados» is a book of short stories for young adults by Erik Orsenna and Collectif, published by Pocket in paperback (313 pages, in French).
Six stories that won the Prix Clara, for writers under 17: a fantasy between life and death, a vampire's diary, an encounter on a train, the adventures of a pirate's son, a friendship and a crime, and a teenager's return to life. The volume shows very different styles and an unusual literary maturity.
Prize created in memory of Clara, who died at thirteen from a heart malformation; it recognizes writers under seventeen. Erik Orsenna chaired the 2009 edition.
From age 12, for young readers and also for adults who want a glimpse of the sensibility and themes of French teenagers.
