Is This the Life?

"It’s frustrating. One thing goes wrong in your life, just one, and all of a sudden everyone starts treating you like a freak. A weirdo. A loser."

Fifteen year old Louis Lacroix is depressed.

Ever since he had a nervous breakdown in class and punched his old maths teacher in the face his life has been a successive string of disasters, one after the other.

Moved from his old maths class into a class for ‘sensitive’ children who require extra attention, he meets Miss Lemaire, a pretty young teacher who’s only been working at his school for a couple of years.
