Illustrated by
Paul Meisel.
Richie tries to act welcoming to French classmate Sophie during Mind Your Manners Week, but minor misunderstandings become more and more confusing due to English and French idioms. The silly, small-stakes story, illustrated with Meisel's light pencil sketches, should be manageable for independent chapter-book readers, who may learn a few new expressions along the way.
