This sharply humorous novel takes us on the adventures of Augustin Tatillon, an anxious young boy whose greatest fear would be to become amnesiac. For a future storyteller, that would be a disaster, because the Tatillons have been storytellers for one hundred and nine generations! So Augustin boards the Mantagolfière, the school shaped like a flying ray. But on board, he is excluded from the Storytellers' Wing, separated from his friend Titouan and, to top it all, a series of thefts threatens to make all the pupils amnesiac. What a bother! To save his memory, Augustin will have to find allies and overcome his fears...
