The author of Bordeterre and Mille Pertuis brings her colorful and delightful style to young readers in a thrilling—and thought-provoking—adventure.

Robinson-Polisson and his sisters Asphodèle and Vendémiaire move into a dilapidated new house with their penniless mother. To make matters worse, when bath time rolls around, it turns out the house is haunted! The bathtub rears up, the tiles open onto a bottomless tunnel, and whoosh! The three children are swept away in their rebellious tub into a magical world.

A tiny, sparkling genie—strangely resembling a photo of their Grandma, whom they’ve never met—then appears before them…

the authors

At the age of six, Julia Thévenot vowed she would become a writer. Not wanting to go back on that magical promise—because you never know what might happen—she decided to devote herself to children’s and fantasy literature. That is how she became an editor (Sarbacane, 2016–2025) and then an author (since 2020). She lives with her husband and two children in Finistère, devoting herself full-time to literature in all its forms.
