“A modern-day Mary Poppins who has charmed her way into the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Quebec children… Like all Demers’s stories, this one [The New Teacher] is fabulously penned, imaginative, relevant and funny.”
——Michelle Lalonde, The Gazette

　　SHORTLISTED FOR THE TEACH PRIMARY NEW CHILDREN’S AWARD
　　LONGLISTED FOR THE CHILDREN’S BOOK AWARD PRIZE OF THE YEAR 2018

　　A former professor and journalist in her native Canada, Dominique Demers is the successful author of over fifty books for children, young adults and adults.
　　Miss Charlotte – the new coach of a children’s football team – has some odd methods to prepare them for the big match. She decides to teach them to lose! And to have fun. Incredibly, it seems to work, as the kid who was always useless on the pitch suddenly scores a screamer in practice. But will their hopes of victory be dashed when the ambitious star player decides to join the other team?
　　The latest installment in Dominique Demers’s popular Adventures of Miss Charlotte series, The New Football Coach, brilliantly illustrated by Tony Ross, is a marvelous tale about believing in yourself and beating the odds.
