EDITOR’S NOTE

Each and every one of the stories in this collection is true. Or at least that’s what the people who wrote them – authors young enough to still be at school – told me.

One of them came to my house one morning and rang my doorbell. I was working in my office, waiting for an important letter, so I opened the door. My visitor gave me a manuscript. You have to read our adventures, sir, he told me.

He put his parcel in my hands, went back to the pavement without giving me time to react, and before I knew it, he had run away.

Two weeks later, I looked at one of the pages of the manuscript in question without much conviction. I had fifty other ones to read, you see. Intrigued by what was written, I started over from the start.

The very next day I called the young man on the cell phone number he had given me. Getting him and his friends to sign a publishing contract was quicker and simpler than I’d thought.

These tales are therefore presented as authentic. Will you be convinced? I can only hope so.

What is certain is that if you are like me, these adventures will grab you, only letting you go a very, very long time after you have read the last line.

The authors asked to remain anonymous. The names of the places and people have therefore been changed, but this will not hinder your reading in any way, I promise.

I wish you all fantastic discoveries during the following pages.
