Summer is now in full swing and there’s much reading to be done during the holidays. Our new July releases should give you a few ideas.

Family is often close by during the warm weeks of summer, and the family from Les Beaux étés (Glorious Summers) is no exception as they embark on their latest escapade to the South of France.

After being cancelled last year, the Olympic games are finally beginning in Japan, so it’s the perfect time to relive the 1928 Olympics, when Boughéra El-Ouafi, a young Algerian-born Frenchman, surprised the world by winning the marathon (Marathon, by Nicolas Debon).

Those of you who will spend time prepping for back-to-school will have September on the brain. This year will mark the 20th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, and the educational comic 11 septembre, le jour où le monde a basculé (September 11th, 2001: The Day the World Changed Forever), retraces the tragic events of that day and the years that followed.
