Product Description

When Gregory wakes up on his first day in Tobago with his grandparents, his heart sinks. The food is strange, the sun too hot, his cousin Lennox is on another wave length, and there are none of the televisions, video games and other high-tech gadgets that a cool city-boy takes for granted. How Gregory adjusts to the strange culture, and learns to enjoy the lifestyle of the Caribbean is enchantingly told and illustrated by award-winning author Caroline Binch.

A Cool Book
We are from Stoke Leys School in Aylesbury, Bucks. We read Gregory Cool as part of our literacy lessons. We all think that is is a fantastic book. It's so good everyone wants to read it - we found a copy in our school library, and we are all fighting over it. One of our favourite parts is when Gregory goes swimming and thinks he sees some sharks, but they are only dolphins.

Cool book...
I was looking for some new books for my 9 year old daughter and was taken with one of the reviews submitted by a child who had read this book with her class at school. My daughter liked the story and the pictures are wonderful. The story is short and simple with a positive message.

A positive story
Simply a grand book with a positive message.
