Two film adaptations were also made in 2010 and 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2006, when I launched the first two volumes, I never thought that people would still be talking to me about them in 2026. I like to say that they are \u201cperiod novels\u201d. I left all the cultural references as is (or almost!) in the reissues, even if some seem dated.

It touches me to see that Aur\u00e9lie has lived through two decades and that the public continues to identify with her. \u00bb- India Desjardins, author<\/p>\n<p>The series of novels Le journal d&rsquo;Aur\u00e9lie Laflamme is the coming of age, both comical and touching, of a teenager who feels like an alien and is looking for her place in the universe. Having lost her father at the age of nine, Aur\u00e9lie must deal with this mourning, in addition to all the moods specific to adolescence. From her difficulties at school to her mother&rsquo;s obsession with cleaning, through her tested friendships and the meeting of a boy who upsets her, Aur\u00e9lie escapes from this whirlwind of emotions which invade her thanks to her overflowing imagination and the reflections she writes in her diary.<\/p>\n<p>In bookstores since May 13: Volume 1 \u2013 Extraterrestrial\u2026 or almost Volume 2 \u2013 On the verge of breaking Volume 3 \u2013 A summer at my grandmother\u2019s Volume 4 \u2013 The world upside down<\/p>\n<p>In bookstores on August 5: Volume 5 \u2013 Championne Volume 6 \u2013 It\u2019s moving Volume 7 \u2013 Full of secrets<\/p>\n<p>In bookstores on October 28 Volume 8 \u2013 Feet on the ground Volume 9 \u2013 Flying with your own wings<\/p>\n<div id=\"linit-1124901406\" class=\"linit-apres-contenu linit-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8992136571741975\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px;\" \ndata-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8992136571741975\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6185130430\"><\/ins> \n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twenty years after the release of the first volume in 2006, the nine books in the popular Le Journal d\u2019Aur\u00e9lie Laflamme series are reissued in a new collection.
