A nine-year-old immigrant ponders American ways in a funny, heartwarming middle-grade novel that explores differences and common ground across cultures Back home, Anaïs was the best English student in her class, but here in Crazy America it's like she doesn't know English at all. She misses her little house under the mango trees. She misses her family--Papa and grandmother Oma and big brother Olivier--because here in America there's only little Jean-Claude and Mama. So she writes letters to Oma and tells her about Halloween, snow, mac 'n' cheese dinners, and princess sleepovers. She tells her all about the weird things Crazy Americans do, and how she just might be turning into a Crazy American herself.
