Marcel, a fourteen-year-old orphan, has spent two years in the juvenile prison of Belle-Île for stealing a piece of bacon. Broken by humiliations and hunger, he keeps a small flame of hope: escaping may cost him his life, but not trying would extinguish his spirit. A tale inspired by the real history of prisons for children in France.

Recommended for readers aged 9 to 12, especially those looking for stories with a historical and emotional backdrop.
