Barbara Constantine made her debut as a writer in 2007. She also works as a ceramics artist and has written many film scripts, such as Les Poupées Russes by Cédric Klapisch. She is the author of four books that have won the sincere love of readers. Eleven-year-old Tom, the hero of the charming and funny novel “How Tom Searched for Home and What Happened Then,” has never been to a palace. He and his mother live in a trailer; they don’t even have a TV, just an old bicycle. Mother has her own problems, and Tom has his own: doing his homework is not at all difficult for him, but getting food and preparing dinner is a little more difficult, especially if the cat has cried for money. By the way, there is also a cat - a real one, only very decrepit, he belongs to a strange old woman named Madeleine, who went completely crazy. It's okay, Tom will take care of everyone. What do you think? He can handle it!
