Kiss the Dust by Elizabeth Laird
4.0
My edition had a blue background.
I remember how she manages to secure a capful of dettol in order to clean the dirty cell that her, her sister and mother are sent to.
When the family arrive in the UK they are confused the customs agents find the last bits of jewelry hidden in a pot of face cream and return them, but take a packet of white power which is medicine for her sister's foot infection.
She goes shopping with her mother, but can't read the packaging so they lick their fingers and run them down the seams of the packets of flour etc... to work out what they are.
She is devastated when she realises her little sister has forgotten their family home in Kurdistan.
