This novice high/intermediate low reader focuses on three high school French students from Maine participating in Manie Musicale, an international bracket-style competition of sixteen contemporary French songs. Find more info about this competition here.

Julie is a shy basketball star who struggles in French but loves music. She is bullied by Gabi, a popular girl with Canadian roots who is misunderstood by her friends. Mohamed is a new Mainer from Sénégal whose English is poor but who is not afraid to stand up to bullies. Tension mounts as the competition comes to a close and the students have to navigate complex social interactions while confronting their fears and hoping to win the grand prize - concert tickets in Boston to see a famous Manie Musicale singer. Can the magic of music bring them all together?
