Other Words for Home, by Jasmine Warga

5.0

A very heartwarming story about a girl who had to leave Syria with her mother to move to the US because of political tension in her country. It's written well and the characters come to life and seem quite real. It's also from a middle schooler's perspective and the simplicity and things that are focused on reflect that. This book would be a very good way to introduce seeing things from another's perspective and understanding how refugees might feel to children. You definitely see character growth from all sides.
