I enjoyed this, it was an interesting look at the themes that impacted the author's teen years living abroad but never integrating into the cultures she lived in. I liked reading her experiences with the hurricane and the coup. There were some themes I felt could have been explored a little more, but overall the book felt thoughtful.

Passport was a unique read. Sophia's feeling of disconnection from her peers is an almost universal experience for teens, but far exacerbated by her nomadic childhood and the secrets she lived with. This is the first book I've read where a kid guessing that their secretive parents work in espionage have been right. Overall, I enjoyed that the author didn't tie up every loose end or make a happy ending. She left it as it was, with hope for what was to come.

I only read this one because it had to be CIA approved to get published and I thought “Hey, that might be interesting.” I liked there story, but the art style was not my favorite. When a character cried, they looked like a zombie. And since there where only like four colors, the story felt repetitive. The spots that had dark colors and black wording on them were hard to see and read. 3.75⭐️
