Duel at the Copacrabana
by Jonathan Blezard
Description
Omar is an outstanding dancer. What he likes above all else is grooving at the Copacrabana on Friday nights; and winning all the competitions. Until the arrival of Brigitte, a graceful octopus who steals the show… Despite his intensive training, Omar loses the competition! Frustrated, he treats Brigitte poorly; but she chooses to rise above it to become his dance partner; and more importantly, his new friend.
• A festive underwater world of dancing with a nod to the 80s music scene
• Managing negative emotions (anger and frustration) in the world of competitions
• Playful illustrations, rich in details and characters

We publish original content as well as carefully curated translations such as Roald Dahl’s books. Our family of culturally and geographically diverse authors and illustrators enriches our catalogue with award-winning titles, such as our YA title Caballero by Lenia Major that won 3 awards and got 3 mentions in France (2017-2018) or our picture book Raconte encore, grand-mère ! by Marido Viale and Xavière Broncard that won the Prix Chronos (2016). Our latest YA novel Droit devant is currently shortlisted for 5 literary awards. We are among those who were the most affected by the Beirut blast this past August. Our offices were completely destroyed; fortunately, our staff had been working from home due to the covid outbreak, so there were no human losses. And so we live to tell another story! – BOP Finalist 2019
