“Pépé is the terror of Mouettes-sur-Mer." He finds his happiness in the art of bothering others—he disturbs everyone. The readers, the swimmers, the sandcastle builders, the volleyball players… whether they are children or adults, it doesn’t matter—no one is safe from Pépé. One day, a little girl watches him and decides to confront him to ask why he behaves that way. Will his answer be satisfying? Will Mouettes-sur-Mer find its former peace again? So many questions for such a small book…
