The Mysterious Wrestler
by Hélène Gloria / Stéphanie Alastra
Description
Basile and Messaoud are delighted to attend a wrestling match organized in their city. They know Ali Gator, the formidable champion. But they don’t know who his opponent, Rhino Ferocious, is. All day they wonder about the identity of the latter: could it be the butcher? the mailman? or maybe even the teacher? When they attend the fight, the boys are dazzled: Rhino Ferocious manages to win thanks to his agility and flexibility. After the match, they go to the locker room in the hope of meeting him… and come face to face with none other than Basile’s mom!
• Overcoming stereotypes and refusing labels
• Wrestling; between fighting and theater
• Humorous and light illustrations
