This book is a masterpiece. It is beautifully written, thought provoking, and it stirs up deep emotions. It is, most importantly, such an amazing critique of the refugee crisis. Not only is this work impactful on the individual reader, but it truly has the potential to impact a generation. This is the kind of book that should be taught in schools.
