Nicky (Nickelodéon Ha Ha Gravel) et son petit frère Bap (Blague à part) sont les fils de monsieur et madame Pouêt, deux clowns de la troupe des Vaillants Voltigeurs. Or, Nicky trouve particulièrement difficile d'avoir des parents qui ne sont jamais sérieux, qui le forcent à faire de longues heures de route et à voyager de ville en ville sans jamais avoir la possibilité de se faire des amis. Et ce, sans compter les repas qui ne sont constitués que de guimauves, de pizza, de maïs soufflé, de hamburgers et d'autres choses mauvaises pour la santé! Alors, pour compenser, le garçonnet est très sérieux et ne rêve que de devenir comptable, d'avoir une petite vie tranquille, d'aller à l'école et de manger de bons légumes ... -- Un court roman dont l'humour tient principalement dans l'inversion des rôles traditionnels entre parents et enfants ainsi que dans les désirs manifestés par le jeune protagoniste, qui vont certainement à l'encontre de ceux des jeunes lecteurs! Des illustrations croquées à la plume et rehaussées d'un lavis accompagnent cette ode à la vie "normale", qui démontre bien que l'existence ne peut être qu'une partie de plaisir. [SDM].
