Readers will not want to part with this story of resilience. A World War II refugee tale that spotlights dedicated hard work. A must-have for public, elementary, and middle school libraries.
For readers who bloomed under Leza Lowitz’s Up From the Sea or Jasmine Warga’s Other Words for Home, this emotionally resonant survival tale is a must-have.
Young readers will be drawn in by the mystery, stay for the characters, and sigh contentedly when the story draws to a close.
A refreshing and heartbreaking story that depicts both a real-life uprising against oppression and the innate desire to be free. Highly recommended for all libraries serving middle and high school students.
This book by author, TV writer, and playwright Corthron is a well-told, fast-paced story about a teenage girl coming of age, while coming to terms with her family’s legacy. A perfect addition to any library’s collection.
