«Pinguino» is the young-adult mystery novel by Franck Pavloff, published by Syros La Découverte in paperback (130 pages, in French).
In a deprived neighbourhood, a narrator born without an arm tells how his group of friends gathers at one of their homes to solve a mystery involving a punk and an elderly woman. The investigation takes them through the streets of the area, in a story about marginalisation, friendship and the search for truth.
It belongs to the Souris Noire collection from Syros Jeunesse, of which it is number 1; the original edition was published in 1997.
Aimed at young readers, particularly those looking for mystery stories set in deprived neighbourhoods.
Franck Pavloff is a French psychologist, novelist, and poet. Franck Pavloff currently lives in Isère, in eastern France, between trips. His Bulgarian father raised him in a way to develop a critical mind and a need for freedom, bequeathing him "the imperious taste of barbed wire and shoving confiscated thoughts".
