Charlie's family moves to the tiny French village of Celeriac for a year. Hesitant at first to leave Montreal, Charlie soon finds that there can be lots to do in a small town once he opens himself up to the possibilities. Quirky characters populate this light story illustrated with Gay's shaded black-and-white spot-art and full-page illustrations.
