(2) K-3 Mile End Kids series. Wanting peace and quiet, Albert moves outside to the alley, imagination in fine working order. But his Montreal-neighborhood friends (from Colette's Lost Pet) invade, becoming increasingly boisterous and fracturing the peace of Albert's seaside daydream. The story unfolds in dialogue, sound effects, and pencil and pen drawings highlighted with jaunty orange and soft turquoise. A subtle portrait of the independent republic of childhood.
