Qui arrive si soir ? - ISBN: 978-1-897504-80-2
This comedic theatre piece deals with not only peer relationships but the common issue of the generation gap as we follow the lives of the main characters that appear in the previous play. The ending to the story is unfinished and it is up to the students to write their own!

Illustrations: Jana Tubinshlak
The story begins the morning of a school field trip to the former sit of an Algonquin settlement near Ottawa. As a teenage girl named Renée is preparing to leave, she and her mother argue over her lack of responsability and Renée is frustrated by her mother's comments. Renée is not interested in this field trip and makes it very clear that she would rather be at the mall with her friends. During the field trip, Renée trips and falls in the forest. Suddenly things change and she finds herself among the Algonquins. is this real or just a dream? This story deals with relationships between adolescents and adults in our time and compares them with the relationships between people of different ages in native societies. Respect and awareness of the environment is another subject that is important in this story.

This is a touching story about an intergenerational relationship between a young girl and a very old woman who lives in a dump.
Françoise teaches Anne many lessons through this story, including a sense of responsability for others, kindness, love and friendship. She teaches Anne that people are not always what they appear to be on the outside. This story is sure to capture your student's hearts. It is the first in our series of short novels for adolescents in the series La lecture en interACTION.
