Alice et le corsaire (Secret of the wooden lady)

The setting and the wooden figure felt so intriguing — I wonder if the author based it on real artifacts or created it from imagination.

I loved the parts where the kids explored the mystery, but some chapters at school felt a bit slow. Was that just me or intentional to build character?

The way the characters worked together felt real and heartwarming, but I’m curious how much of that was planned versus natural development.
