The Death-Defying Pepper Roux
by Geraldine McCaughrean
LTF Stock #: 000076
On his 14th birthday, Pepper Roux—raised to believe he'll die young based on a supposed divine prophecy from his aunt—flees his devout family and embarks on a whirlwind of disguises and escapades across early 20th-century France. From posing as a sea captain to a telegram boy, Pepper's misadventures blend slapstick humor, narrow escapes, and heartfelt discoveries about faith, family, and the joy of simply living, all while dodging what he fears is his inevitable fate.
