While some live in fancy houses and go off on cruises round the world, others have more modest lives. But careful! Appearances can be deceiving!

The same conversation happens every day at school: people brag about their parents' (incredible) jobs, their (humongous) houses, and their (amazing) vacations. Beside all this, the life of our little hero seems modest indeed… But what if George let him have his turn in the spotlight that no one will give him? Humorously lambasting the boastfulness that reigns in the schoolyard, difficulties fitting in, a lack of self-confidence, the wealth gap, and feelings of class inferiority, Julien Baer and Magali Le Huche show that even when we feel unworthy of attention, we always have unsuspected depths—something to share, show, or say.
