Synopsis

Every minute Gregory spends in school is torture. The only time he feels really happy is when he's messing around with tools. His Grandpa Leon understands and eventually persuades Gregory to stop blaming other people for his frustration and to apply to technical college. But to do this, Gregory has to take an exam. He is constantly on the verge of giving up, until he hears Grandpa Leon encouraging him. When he gets home, his grandfather is very ill and Gregory realizes how precious he is and that he wants to make him proud. With this new incentive, Gregory discovers he has made the grade for technical college.

Author Bio
Anna Gavalda is a journalist and the author of two adult books, which were enormously successful internationally. She says I wrote 35 Kilos of Hope to pay tribute to those of my students who were dunces in school but otherwise fantastic people. The book is also a homage to one of my son's teachers who encouraged him in elementary school when he started off on the wrong foot. Anna lives in Seine-et-Marne, France, with her family.
