Rebecca was six and defenses rather weaklings. Result, she spends most of his time lying in his bed with fever. At home, there is Coralie, his older sister by 14 years, teen rebel who often remains locked in her room and of course mom and dad. But lately, they argue all the time. So much so that dad has moved in with her brother.
One day, when it rains in torrents, Rebecca decides to go into the garden to hunt frogs. But rather than finding frogs, she found herself face to face with Ernest, a microbe that will become his best friend. Ernest is the kind of germ that wishes you well, just like vaccines that cause immune reactions positive. So when the chickenpox virus or the tetanus come too close to the little girl, Ernest intervenes to prevent any spread. And as Rebecca lives very poorly the separation of his parents, fortunately, his favorite microbe remains at his side to help tackle this difficult time.
With Ernest and Rebecca William Bianco shows a new facet of his incredible talent. Still if this particular vision of childhood, between dream and harsh reality, between light and reflection denser. Rebecca is an only child by force of circumstance (often absent parents and older sister who has other concerns). She is fragile and playful, can become unbearable or turn into electric battery in a split second. A girl touching, very affected by parental separation and the arrival of Sam, the new boyfriend of his mother. In the third volume comes out, the series win in thickness. On holiday in the countryside, Rebecca discovers life in another day and learn a whole bunch of stuff about the nature and the stars with his Grandpa critters. A tome that combines the poetry of Jojo (Geerts) and rural scenery worthy of Memories Mamette (Nob).
In an interview published last month in the magazine DBD William Bianco defines perfectly the spirit of the series: "is a funny series where kids can identify with, while sometimes finding solutions to their problems. I regret that all these series are just entertainment. Just as I regret the comics inaccessible from cover. Modestly I try to mix the two, ie a scenario with a little depth, illustrated by a drawing available to Disney or very manga. "
says it all. Ernest and Rebecca is a wonderful series, while tenderness. A treat for all ages from 8 years.
