Found at today‘s book sale:
Okay, this one might be a bit obscure if you‘re not Canadian but I was thrilled to find this first edition of the author‘s second book. Where are my French-Canadian lit lovers? 😉

Chrissyreadit I don‘t know why I did not think of this- but can you recommend any good French Canadian books that come in French and English? Or Younger book? My daughter is studying French and loves it. She is reading Candide now (French and English side by side). I hope to visit Canada this year so she can be immersed in French for a few days. 5mo
LeahBergen @Chrissyreadit Oh, let me think on that! How old is she? And what‘s her (usual) favourite genre? 5mo
Chrissyreadit @LeahBergen she will be 17 in July. She loves pretty diverse stuff. From Shakespeare to Eleanor and Park and Little Women, she‘s enjoying Candide. And Then There Were None was a favorite too. 5mo
Chrissyreadit She said Homegoing was a favorite too. I think she would like a lot of books you typically post about. 5mo
LeahBergen @Chrissyreadit She might like this author‘s first book which is a Canadian classicThe Tin Flute 5mo
The Tin FluteLeahBergen @Chrissyreadit Or this one (which I haven‘t read yet but seems a bit dark and twisted 😆)Mad Shadows (edited) 5mo
Mad ShadowsLeahBergen @Chrissyreadit Or this one (which I‘ve been meaning to read)The Body's Place 5mo
The Body's PlaceLeahBergen @Chrissyreadit Oh! And there are fantastic graphic novels coming out of Quebec. She might find some of those fun to learn French with. 5mo
LeahBergen @Chrissyreadit Let me ask some of the Francophone Litsy experts here! 😆 @CouronneDhiver @tournevis @writerlibrarian Do you have any good recommendations for a literary teen learning French? Please see above 👆🏻 (edited) 5mo

writerlibrarian @Chrissyreadit I just thought of another author Kim Thuy she is amazingRu 5mo
RuRaimeyGallant *slinks away because I haven't read a French Canadian author since high school* 5mo
Lindy @Chrissyreadit It sounds like your daughter enjoys being challenged. Good for her! I second @writerlibrarian suggestion of anything by Kim Thuy. Other slim novels published in both languages include Little Beast (Julie Demers); Kuessipan (Naomi Fontaine) andAnd the Birds Rained Down 5mo
And the Birds Rained DownLindy @Chrissyreadit And one of my very favourite Québécois novels:The Little Girl Who Was Too Fond of Matches: A Novel 5mo

Chrissyreadit @Lindy thanks!!! You are all amazing. Now to figure out how to order the books in French, not English. 5mo
LeahBergen @Lindy I should‘ve tagged you, too, for this! Thanks. 😘 5mo
LeahBergen @RaimeyGallant Right?? 🤫 5mo
Chrissyreadit @writerlibrarian I‘m going to show her the library link you shared. Can anyone use it? I think getting a book she can mark up to support translation and studying might be easier- but I‘m also figuring this out. Pretty excited in a geeky way. I promised her a trip to Quebec too. 5mo
LeahBergen @Chrissyreadit Check out amazon.ca and chapters.indigo.ca to start. 5mo
Chrissyreadit @LeahBergen thank you!!! 5mo
writerlibrarian @Chrissyreadit yes you can use the links. 🙂 5mo
