Eleven year old Karolina reflects on her life in Britain, having moved from Poland three years ago.. Her initial apprehensions are overcome as she is helped to settle into her new school quickly and makes rapid progress in English. She draws comparisons between the two countries, their education systems, foods and traditions, introducing us to Polish words associated with special customs. This real-life case history from a Hampshire school is presented in a compelling manner using a variety of texts, maps and photographs, and concludes with a glossary, Poland fact file, and index.
