Paige Billin-Frye.
When Gregory's family moves to Japan, he cheerfully accepts the new way of life--chopsticks, yen, sleeping on the floor--but adapting to school proves harder, especially lunchtime. His classmates find a way to share their own cross-cultural appreciation and make Gregory feel at home. Definitions and pronunciations of Japanese words are provided below the text. Lighthearted cartoonlike art suits the upbeat story.
