Le Prince des Nuages tells the story of three friends who live far above the clouds, 2000 metres above sea level. Their lives change completely the day an evil tyrant decides to overthrow the Kingdom of Clouds, and turn the Earth's climate into a weapon of war. To stop him, Tristam, Tom and Myrtille will have to descend to Earth and understand how it works. Why is the sky blue? How are volcanoes formed? Why is sea water salty? Will they manage to understand the mysterious working of nature, before the tyrant destroys the world?
- This fantastic trilogy will attract adults and children, taking them on an adventurous journey of discovery of the workings of the universe.
