On the Road Again: More 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 experience 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 neighbours – 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.
