This text is great for sharing with pupils. Many pupils will have the same experiences as Gregory and staying with their grandparent over half terms, and perhaps not feeling too excited by this. Children will immediately have a personal link to the story, this means that the perhaps different nature of Gregory’s grandparent's location will be interesting, but importantly relatable. This book will be further relatable to many children that will have friends or family members that live, in potentially very different climates or cultural areas and it is great that they can see themselves represented. Gregory goes to visit his grandparents in Tobago for the first time. When he gets there, he finds life is very different - it's too hot, the food is strange and there aren't any toys or games - and his cousin Lennox doesn't even seem to mind!

How will Gregory adjust to the strange culture? And will he learn to enjoy the lifestyle of the Caribbean?
