Throughout the year, the fifth-grade students at EFIB read and studied *Ren the Ninja*, a children’s manga written by Miyuki Tsuji, who is also known for being the official German translator of the *Naruto* volumes.

This project was carried out in collaboration with the École Française de Hambourg, with which the students communicated regularly. Together, they prepared a series of questions for the author about her writing and translation work, her experience as an expatriate, and language learning.

The final meeting took place via videoconference from Hamburg: it was a meaningful and inspiring experience, during which Ms. Tsuji generously answered the many questions posed by the two classes.

To wrap up this wonderful adventure, each student received a personalized autograph in the mail —a lasting memento of a literary and linguistic project with an intercultural dimension.
