How to Convince a Ghost to Move OutMaude Ménard-Dunn
Illustrations : Sophie Bédard
In the village where I live, I, Dorothée Petit, swear that nothing ever happens. Well, until the day my father discovers an old box hidden in the kitchen wall. Inside: a spine-chilling photo, a questionable handkerchief, and a letter from a certain Doris, dated 1895. Same age as me, same bedroom, same exhausting twin brothers. Disturbing, right?
Since then, my window opens by itself, objects move during the night... and I can't sleep anymore. Great.
Fortunately, I have the support of the village historical society, an exclusive club of old-stuff enthusiasts, to help me solve a simple question: how do you convince a ghost to move out? -

Spring's OrbitHugo Léger
Settled at her porthole, Laïla observes her peers bustling about from a distance. However strong, brilliant, and resourceful she may be, nothing can shield her from the heartbreak she feels following the end of a friendship. So she retreats to the depths of her shuttle, making astonishing encounters in space, defying the stream of commands trying to drag her back down to Earth. Between imagination and reality, school and family, Laïla searches for a world she can truly inhabit.
An unconventional book that defies gravity and reason, revealing what modern-day heroines are made of.
Excerpt
On her onboard computer, she can read and watch everything happening down on Earth. What people say, share, post. Every word, every gesture, every story she’s cut herself out of is streamed straight to her.
The sexy dance of the Labrie sisters. (Funny)
Victor’s goofy faces. (Ridiculous)
Simon’s latest date. (Not bad)
Rose’s lipsync. (Nope)
Walid’s one‑minute recipe. (Why not)
She doesn’t like anything. No hearts. The supply of love she carries inside her is so limited she’s afraid to waste it. The gauge is almost at zero. This is no time to hand it out to the first clown who comes along. She doesn’t have that much of the little she has left to get through these hard days. Spring is going to be cold, and the small inner fire she’s tending as best she can will be essential to survive it.
Watching the world bustle about, the idea of going back to Earth feels unlikely. The gap, unbridgeable. All those people she used to know have become strangers in her eyes. We don’t live on the same planet anymore, she decides; my fellow humans feel less and less like my kind. -
