C'est juste une joke
Nadia Bellehumeur
- Reading
- Consider reading together or checking in afterwards, especially if the changing friendship or harassment feels close to a child’s own experience.
- Themes
- Harassment framed as a joke: Antoine believes Zach is provoking him and responds by harassing his former friend, while dismissing his own actions as a joke. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Harassment is central to the conflict, and its consequences are described as dramatic and affecting people around the boys; their exact nature is unclear.
