Several years have passed. The planet has survived a strange natural cataclysm, and people have almost gotten used to living among crystals, without Wi-Fi and text messages. Lou has discovered a new kind of therapy: instead of a diary, she dances until morning! Together with her mom, she spends her days playfully hanging out with Prince, and it seems that this is true harmony. But Lou can't shake the feeling that something is wrong with it all…
Based on "Lou!" is an award-winning animated series, as well as a feature film starring Ludivine Sagnier as Mom.
"I wanted to make a comic about an ordinary girl so that my daughter, as she grew up, would recognize herself in her." Neuf Julien thought of his daughter, but "hit" everyone—children, teenagers, and adults alike: first French-speaking readers, and then international readers fell in love with "Lou!", and now, for 15 years, everyone from young to old has seen themselves in the characters.
- 1 The sixth book takes place after a strange natural cataclysm, the causes and consequences of which no one can unravel—neither scientists, nor esotericists, nor ordinary people. But everyone is equally forced to live in a new reality—which is very relevant today (even though the book is from 2012).
- 2 The way people deal with the new reality is highly metaphorical. There are different paths of personal development and growing up, and Lou explores the world through her feelings, while her mom takes a more scientific, rational approach.
- 3 What are these pink crystals that are scattered all over the world? Some put them in laboratories, some listen to sound waves at the government's request, and some put on a pink poncho and touch them with their hands, eyes closed.
- 4 Lou is an example of healthy growing up—she doesn't forget what it was like to be a child, but she also takes on all new responsibilities with ease—for example, masterfully babysitting her younger brother.
- 5 The comic breaks the chronology we are used to—we have jumped either a year or two. Unraveling this temporal twist and guessing what happened before is very exciting (considering that the next books are coming in 2022).
