louïk and Mahé are two inseparable friends. Mahé has a speech impediment that makes her the subject of ridicule by her classmates. Louïk defends her until he is the victim of a terrible accident. Emerging from a coma is one thing, but relearning to speak and regaining the use of his legs is quite another. Will Mahé and his dog Juliette's friendship manage to make the difference that no specialist has been able to achieve?

This novel reveals the miracles of friendship in a school setting, and even more…Le miracle de Juliette, is the first novel in the series Et quoi encore! (What else!) and encourages respect, mutual aid, and the pursuit of one's dreams… with the possibility of even surpassing those ambitions.

Excerpt

-cette fois-là, Louïk a demandé que je sois dans SON équipe, maman, s'écrie-t-elle, comme si elle avait alors marqué un but à une partie de hockey.

Mahé et Louïk, le fils du deuxième voisin, ont toujours fréquenté la même école. Le premier jour de la prématernelle, ils se sont spontanément placés l'un à côté de l'autre en classe. Chaque fois que la liberté leur est donnée de choisir leur place, ils se précipitent pour s'asseoir côte à côte. Ils n'ont cessé depuis toujours de multiplier les occasions de se retrouver ensemble, même en dehors de la classe.
