La Machine A Rajeunir is a Quebecois novella by Denis Coté featured in the anthology Nouvelles Frontieres: Anthologie 10 by Pearson Education.

The whole story is told from Marc-Andre's perspective about how his parents Sophie and Hugo are becoming younger and younger. His greatest fear is that his parents might vanish if they continue to become younger. Luckily for them, they figured out the reason why, the "the machine rajeunir"-(age and size reduction machine) at Perce. So their goal is to get to Perce just in time before his parents disappear. Josee comes along to help. Along their journey, there are lots of obstacles and people that are putting this secret they have in danger. They also meet new friends willing to help along the way, Luce and her dad. It is full of literary and grammatical errors, and has generally negative reviews, but is used as a learning recourse, and is simple yet exposes readers to all sorts of new vocabulary.
