Publisher Description:
These are the best things that happened to me the year I didn't go to school:
  • Traveled around Italy with my family's theatre troupe.

  • Performed in a theatre outside. (I was a monkey, a panda, and a lion!)

  • Ate spaghetti with fried egg on top.

  • Slept in a truck.

  • Wove cowboy boots.

  • Ciao! (I spoke Italian.)

  • Kept a journal to remember everything that happened.
