Family Sabbatical (Nancy Pearl's Book Crush Rediscoveries) (English Edition) | |
The Ridgeway family takes on France in this delightful story from Newbery Medal winner Carol Ryrie Brink.
Professor Ridgeway is on sabbatical in the South of France—and the whole family is along for the adventure. Susan has brought her diary to document their vacation fun, but Dumpling isn’t convinced that France can compete with their house with the tower back in Midwest City. She’s brought along her doll, Irene, as her little piece of home. George is just happy to have some new terrain to search for rocks. As the Ridgeways settle in, they find out that a real, live princess is staying at their hotel. But who could she be? While they search for the princess, they also begin studying French with their stern tutor, Mademoiselle—but isn’t it more fun teaching her some not-so-proper English? And as Halloween and Thanksgiving roll around, the Ridgeway children decide to show France a little bit of what these holidays mean back home in America—with some unexpected results! France will never be the same after the Ridgeways come to visit!

The author is primarily known for her stories about Caddie Woodlawn. Her mid 20th century stories are just as charming, and the world she describes so well is equally remote to today's children. In this one, we see an ordinary midwestern American family having small adventures as they encounter French culture. The characters are well drawn and the story holds the interest of middle readers. It was a favorite of mine, and became a favorite for my daughter.
"Family Sabbatical" and "Family Grandstand" revolve around a season in the lives of the Ridgeway family. These stories are gentle, entertaining and endearing all at once! We loved the antics and adventures of each well-described character. Highly recommended. My only caution would be that if you read Family Sabbatical aloud, be sure to have a forgiving audience if you cannot speak French beyond "oui"! As the Ridgeways are traveling in France, the pages are sprinkled (lightly) with potential for butchering a beautiful language!
I love this book! I have checked it out several times from the library and each time I have enjoyed it very much. It is a story of a family on a sabbatical in France (for those who don't know, a sabbatical is when, after seven years, a professor goes and works somewhere else for up to a year). This book quickly became one of my favorites because it tells the humorous account of a family getting used to life in another country, and a new language, and because my family will be going on a sabbatical sometime. Great book, do read it, also read Family Grandstand.
This was one of my favorite books as a child and I am so glad to see it back in print.
