Here is a really good adventure novel for young adult readers, with echoes of Robert Louis Stevenson and Alexandre Dumas, after whom the heroine is named. All the necessary aspects of the genre are present: unforeseen alliances, unsuspected treachery, rapid situation reversals...

Mureliane, Les Chroniques de l'Imaginaire

A real young adult novel to dream along and grow up with Alexia and at the same time learn a lot about both pirates and the historical context (colonial conflicts, slave trafficking, the fight for abolition, Haïti's particular situation).
The novel carries a message about freedom which will please young teenagers. The style is adapted to its readership, as is Didier Graffet's front cover showing the heroine against a background of the skull and crossbones.
Finally, everyone who likes Alexia can follow her through nearly a century of history until her death at the end of the 19th century, since the editor intends to publish one book a year of the "Alexia saga".

In Flibustière !, Johan Heliot combines to excellent effect historical facts about a region of the West Indies at the beginning of the 19th century and all the ingredients of an epic novel of seafaring adventures, enlivened with sparking zest of fantasy.

Serge Perraud, nooSFere

Basically, Johan Heliot managed to write a young adult book that will delight adults, reminding them of their youth, but at the same time transport young people to distant seas in the search of treasure and freedom. With an extravagant, almost Hollywoodian scenario - how is it possible for a young girl to do so many things at that age?  This will make some readers smile, but it will delight those who dream of distant shores. For Alexia is a young lady well ahead of her time: leading us to believe that the author has cast a girl of our times back into the pirate era. Well much more than a young girl: a tomboy, cultivated, intelligent, athletic, clever, pretty… In short Alexia has everything going for her, except, it must be said, good luck: from time to time fate deals her an unlucky hand, which is always good for further intrigue!

Pirates have always been stuff of dreams: if you need convincing you only have to look at the number of stories written about them, whether they be novels, films or graphic books. And here we sail away on the wonderful seas of Johan Heliot’s imagination and surf on waves of historical detail….
