The Zigzag Kid (2014)
“Shortly after we left the beach, as we were driving down a country road, another police car passed us with flashing lights and whirling siren. The policemen inside ignored us, since they were on the lookout for a black Bugatti with yellow doors, not an old green buggy. A prince as opposed to a frog.

“Is okay now for you to open.”
I opened my eyes. There beside me sat an old man with a bowed back and heavy glasses.MoreLess
