Following a life-altering amputation, Iya struggles to rebuild her sense of self while navigating cruelty and alienation at a new school. Her growing bond with Mambo, a girl shaped by the quiet world of her mother, a woman with hearing and speech disabilities, becomes a powerful space of mutual recognition. Together, they confront the pressures placed upon them and find in friendship and art new ways of imagining themselves.The Shape of Unbroken Things is a compelling work of young adult fiction that captures the fragile intensity of adolescence. Moving between moments of vulnerability and humour, the novel traces the evolving friendship between two girls learning to inhabit a world shaped by exclusion and expectation. Amid the backdrop of school life, the narrative takes readers into the world of school cliques where the language and politics of disability and identity take centre stage.More than a novella, The Shape of Unbroken Things is a publishing experiment in what a book can hold and who it can reach. Produced by Bakwa Books with accessibility at its core, the publication is a bilingual English-French tête-bêche edition, inviting readers to encounter the story from either direction. It is also available in both English and French braille editions, and as an eBook, with an audiobook forthcoming, extending the novella beyond the printed page. The Shape of Unbroken Things is for readers who read with their eyes, ears, hands, and hearts, and stands as a testament as to why physical books still matter.Iya a subi une amputation et peine à se reconstruire face à l’adversité, la cruauté et l’exclusion qu’elle endure dans sa nouvelle école. Mambo, une jeune fille marquée par l’univers silencieux de sa mère souffrant de troubles de l’audition et de la parole, tisse avec Iya des liens puissants qui deviendront un espace de reconnaissance mutuelle entre les deux jeunes filles. Ensemble, elles affrontent les pressions qui pèsent sur elles et trouvent en l’amitié et l’art de nouvelles façons de se réinventer.Ce qu’on ne brise pas est un roman pour jeunes adultes captivant qui rend compte de l’intensité fragile de l’adolescence. Oscillant entre moments de vulnérabilité et d’humour, ce roman retrace l’évolution de l’amitié entre deux jeunes filles qui apprennent à trouver leur place dans un monde marqué par l’exclusion et les attentes. Sur fond de vie scolaire, le récit plonge les lecteurs dans l’univers des cliques d’école, où le langage et les enjeux liés au handicap et à l’identité occupent le devant de la scène.Plus qu’un roman court, Ce qu’on ne brise pas est une expérience éditoriale qui explore ce qu’un livre peut contenir et quel public il peut toucher. Réalisée par Bakwa Books dans un souci d’accessibilité, cette publication se présente sous la forme d’une édition bilingue anglais-français tête-bêche, invitant les lecteurs à découvrir le récit dans les deux sens. Elle est également disponible en braille anglais et français, ainsi qu’en livre numérique, et un livre audio est à venir, prolongeant ainsi la nouvelle au-delà de la page imprimée. Ce qu’on ne brise pas s’adresse aux lecteurs qui lisent avec leurs yeux, leurs oreilles, leurs mains et leur cœur, et témoigne de l’importance que revêtent encore aujourd’hui les livres papier.
