(3) 4-6 Translated by Gill Rosner. This slim novel is about Gregory, a thirteen-year-old sixth grader who is unhappy and unsuccessful at school. When Gregory sets off to attend a new boarding school, his grandfather, the only person who believes in him, is hospitalized. In this fresh setting, however, Gregory begins to turn his life around. This affecting story about faith in one's own strength should be attractive to readers who, like Gregory, struggle academically.
