Waking Up in France and Surviving with a Smile Sara Crompton Meade

POCKET EDITION Matthew is eight years old. He lives in New Zealand where he is happy with his friends, school and routines. But then his world literally turns upside-down as his parents take him and his family to the other side of the world - to France - for his Dad to do some study. Written with Matthew?s voice, perspective and humour, we follow his first two years of bewildering and confusing challenges: facing a new school, a new culture, a new way of life, all in a language that is completely unknown to him. This story vividly accounts Matthew?s frights, fears and then fun as he eventually adapts to the new life, and survives, right-side-up, and with a smile. Matthew?s story is an inspirational read for all ages.
