Postcards from France
Grade 8 Up.  Libby, a high school junior from Ridgefield, CT, spent the 1994-95 school year in France as an AFS (American Field Service) student. Her account of this year abroad is organized into 12 "postcards." These short chapters cover language, food, school, friendships, dogs, and other aspects of French life. The author is an intelligent, perceptive young woman who writes with style, insight, and a touch of humor. Her book's principal disadvantage is its brevity. Readers will want more, much more detail and information. Nonetheless, Postcards from France is an enjoyable and thought-provoking read that will be useful for French students as well as for all teens who have been, or hope to be involved in foreign exchange/study abroad programs.?Ann W.
