David is in the 6th grade. He has already failed twice. He is not interested in school. Since he was a small child, he has much preferred to spend time with his grandfather Léon in the shed. There he tinkers and builds all kinds of new inventions. But all this is of little use to him at school. While David's failed school career is a huge burden for his parents, his grandfather is his only emotional support.

Bestselling author Anna Gavalda paints a sensitive picture of a child who sees his talents elsewhere than in the traditional requirements of the education system.
