This hilarious sequel to Travels with My Family is narrated by Charlie, a young boy whose adventuresome parents decide to move the family to a small French village for the year. Through Charlie’s eyes, we see the differences between his big-city life in Montreal and the rural life he experiences, right down to the annual bull run through the village streets. Initially reluctant to leave Montreal, Charlie makes fast friends and comes to love his new home; before he knows it, it’s time to return to Montreal . ss

In the sequel to Travels With My Family, the family is on the road again -- this time to spend a year in a tiny village in southern France.

They experiences the spring migration of sheep up to the mountain pastures, the annual running of the bulls (in which Charlie's father is trapped in a phone booth by a raging bull), and other adventures large and small. Most of all, though, Charlie and his little brother, Max, grow fond of their new neighbors -- the man who steals ducks from the local river, the neighbor's dog who sleeps right in the middle of the street and their new friends Rachid and Ahmed, who teach them how to play soccer in the village square.
