Overview

- Ella, tu aimes les chevaux? I turn around to see who is talking to me, and to my utter surprise, I see the super-tall super-gorgeous model-type girl who hangs out with Marc all the time. -Oui, j'aime les chevaux, I say. -Moi, je n'aime pas les chevaux, she says pinching her nose. What? How can she not like horses! As spring approaches, Ella tastes Quebec's famous maple syrup for the first time, explores Montreal's shops in search of the perfect gift for Chloé, and her heart is thrown into turmoil... once again! Follow her adventures... What will she do this time? The story begins entirely in English, and as it progresses, the protagonist and the reader discover together new French words (written in blue). The result is a bilingual, Frenglish-style story that is easily understood thanks to the logic of the learning process. As new French vocabulary is being introduced, the proportion of French words increases until it culminates, on the last page, with a text written entirely in French! Learning French has never been easier.
