The King in the Window

Adam Gopnik

Fantasy Young Adult

Oliver Parker is a ten-year-old American boy miserably trapped in Paris, where his father is stationed as a journalist. Intimidated by his French school and its prickly teachers, oppressed by gray and wintry Paris, and feeling curiously remote from his father – who spends more and more time staring dully into his computer screen – Oliver longs to return to America.
