Gaby les collines

Gaby’s Hills | Gabys Hügel
For Gaby, not much has changed since last summer. For everybody else, apparently everything is different. The 13-year-old is back on the island where her dad lives, and everyone keeps giving her the strangest looks. Even Fourmi, her best friend, keeps brushing her off. When one of the boys starts singing an ode to Gaby’s “hills”, it’s the final straw. Tongue firmly in cheek, Zoé Pelchat sends her titular heroine into battle to disarm the male gaze.
