In Miss Coline’s class, they are preparing to elect a delegate. Election posters, leaflets, campaigning, everything is there to make the elections a success. But as soon as the first debates start, things get ugly…

It all started with an unfortunate remark by Jorge who said that girls could not be president. Ms Coline found the perfect opportunity to remind us what a stereotype is and took the opportunity to organise elections in her class. What started out as a good intention quickly turned into a disaster: tensions between the girls and the boys became so widespread that the debates organised were more petty than an exchange of ideas. Madame Coline is disappointed… Elvis too. He liked his class better when the students all got along and didn’t all want to be in power. But maybe he has a great idea to fix everything.

Marie Colot

Born in Belgium in 1981, Marie Colot spent her childhood inventing stories. A teacher by training, she published her first novel in 2012 En toutes lettres (Alice Jeunesse). Since then, she has been writing for teenagers: Dans de beaux draps, Jusqu'ici tout va bien, Souvenirs de ma nouvelle vie (Petite Fureur 2014 and the Libbylit Prize for Belgian youth novels); and for younger readers: the series Le jour des premières fois, Le dimanches où il fait beau (Petite Fureur 2016), with a constantly renewed pleasure. When she is not writing in her pretty notebooks, she is observing passers-by, doing yoga, collecting elephants and eating crème brûlée.
