(2) 4-6 Translated by Y. Maudet. For years middle grader Anthony believed his father was away on an extended trip. Then he discovers that Dad is in prison for theft. When Dad escapes and goes on the lam, Anthony joins him and is present during a climactic police shootout, from which Dad escapes, leaving Anthony behind. The emotional arc in this spare and solemn French import foils our expectations.
