Note publique d'information : "Theo Byrne is a promising young scientist who has found a way to search for life
on other planets dozens of light years away. He is also the widowed father of a most
unusual nine-year-old. His son Robin is funny, loving and filled with plans. He thinks
and feels deeply, adores animals and can spend hours painting elaborate pictures.
He is also on the verge of being expelled from school for smashing his friend's face
with a thermos.What can a father do, when the only solution offered to his rare and
troubled boy is to put him on psychoactive drugs? What can he say when his boy comes
to him wanting an explanation for a world that is clearly in love with its own destruction?
The only thing for it is to take the boy to other planets, all while fostering his
son's desperate attempt to save this one. At the heart of Bewilderment lies the question:
How can we tell our children the truth about this beautiful, imperiled planet?"
