It’s the first day at a new school for unicorn-loving, practical Tia. It’s hard to be the new kid. Lunching alone in an obscure club room, she finally finds an unlikely friend in Leo, who loves being funny and sometimes forgets to think before he jokes.Tia and Leo notice that the school janitor is acting weird. He’s been picking through the trash and hoarding banana peels in the creepy school basement. And he’s kind of acting like a zombie. Things go from weird to worse when the kids — with the help of the advisor to the school’s least popular club — discover what’s behind it: a huge mustachioed space monster who plans to take over the world!

DOM PELLETIER a commencé à dessiner des caricatures dès son jeune âge et il n’a jamais déposé ses crayons depuis. Il a étudié la communication graphique à l’Université Laval de Québec. Puisqu'il adore le grand air, il a planté des arbres et voyagé partout dans le monde avant de commencer à travailler comme concepteur de jeux vidéo. Après une rencontre marquante au Salon du livre de Québec, Dom s’est associé aux Éditions Scholastic pour publier sa populaire série comique 100 blagues! Et plus.... Après la publication de 50 de ces livres hyper amusants, il a réorienté sa création vers l’hilarante série de bandes dessinées Les timbrés. Il vit avec sa femme à Saint-Liboire, au Québec.
