Waking up in France and surviving with a smile (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780473224837)

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.
