The first book in a hilarious series by the author of L’impossible madame bébé.

It was our former teacher who first called us the “Andouilles”, on the pretext that we couldn’t read fluently. “Andouilles” means idiots, but in real life, it’s a type of sausage that smells a bit like poop. I know, it’s weird, but in the newspaper, you always read weird stuff. In ours: what to do when you’re bored? Where to look for a dream grandmother? What do you buy at the Help for the Poor? And of course, an interview with our amazing teacher.
