Five-year-old Eliza and her parents leave their Connecticut home and learn to adjust to a different kind of life in Malaysia. Written from Eliza's point-of-view, the text is illustrated with colorful photos, both of which document her reactions to such novelties as outhouses and the local market. While the book lacks substantive information about Malaysian culture, it may appeal to American children about to embark on a similar journey.
