La planète grise (French Edition), by Cécile Lainé

This is a creative story and graphic novel for beginning French learners. It is very natural and has a fun and understandable plot. Is a great addition to any classroom library, classroom novel or just a interesting read fun novel for beginning or low-intermediate French learners to improve their French.

The word count is very low, between 4 and 40 words per page, not including onomatopoeia, with a total of 20 pages of actual story. I imagine even first-year students would read it in under 30 minutes, as the appealing, manga-style illustrations make unknown words easier to guess. There is also a complete glossary for those who need it, but I expect this will be a fast, fun read for most students.
I am a fan of everything Cécile Lainé has written for learners.

Your students are gonna love this book!! A good story, in understandable French, with new words glossed on the same page (so less flipping around looking up words!). But the illustrations bump this book to another level. The animé-style art and story are going to draw your students to pick up this book to read and share!
