mat_tobin's review against another edition
4.0
Binch's book does what she does well, which is to encourage children to see the positive in life rather than the negative. Here, we find her drawn to the Caribbean (Tobago) which is different from her Grace stories and yet there is still a strong call for the child to go back and accept and embrace their cultural history.
In Gregory Cool though, although the setting is particularly beautiful as well as the architecture, the characters themselves do feel staged at times and not as relaxed or as real as they could do - ironic considering how beautifully she paints.
