A little bit confusing jumping all over the place also wonder what happened to Razak and Nauru.
Have a feeling they stayed behind in America or died on the ship or survived?
I don’t know.
Once again really confusing but it was a little enjoyable

Read this book in one sitting and it hit hard. The tale is harrowing on multiple levels, even more so knowing that it’s all real and really happening to hundreds of thousands of people. The narrative structure is neat and the illustrations are gorgeous. My only complaints are that it’s a little short and there were events and characters I wanted fleshed out more. But it’s an important story and I’m so glad I read it.
