surprotectrice, Li Han Angers ne se doute pas qu'une âme troublée la guette, tapie dans l'ombre. Mais quand elle commence à être victime d'étranges incidents, sa belle assurance s'effondre. Qui donc s'acharne ainsi sur elle ? Et pourquoi ? Heureusement qu'elle a des amis sur qui compter, dont Dominique, un adolescent atteint du syndrome d'Asperger, une forme d'autisme, qui utilisera ses étonnantes aptitudes et combattra ses peurs pour tenter de l'aider. Y parviendra-t-il avant qu'il ne soit trop tard ? Une carte sans légende est un heureux mélange de suspense, de romantisme et d'humour qui prône le respect des différences. C'est aussi une belle histoire d'amitié et de courage qui nous montre que nos faiblesses peuvent parfois cacher une force brute des plus étonnantes". -- 4e de couvIn the days of the pharaohs: a look at ancient Egypt (Single Titles Social Studies Ser.)
