Two Steps From the Stars
by Jean-Rock Gaudreault, trans.
Linda Gaboriau
Junior counts his steps all the way home. When you get right down to it, the world is not so big, especially when your too-strict dad takes up so much space, and when the schoolyard is buzzing with the rumour that you’re in love with the weirdest girl in the whole school.
And here she is in person: Maggie. She appears on the sidewalk just as Junior makes a big decision: this very night, he’s going to make a run for it to achieve his great dream of becoming an astronaut…
You’ve got to run fast to escape from your childhood. You’ve got to run fast to discover a larger world where you don’t have to ask permission to be free. But sometimes it happens that a stowaway threatens to give away your secret unless… unless she can go with you for awhile…
Sometimes the trains of childhood run very late. And rumours have a bit of truth to them…
And what if the new world were only two steps away?
