New York Times bestseller and Newbery Honor Book

A gorgeously written, hopeful middle grade novel in verse about a young girl who must leave Syria to move to the United States, perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Aisha Saeed.

Jude never thought she'd be leaving her beloved older brother and father behind, all the way across the ocean in Syria. But when things in her hometown start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives.

At first, everything in America seems too fast and too loud. The American movies that Jude has always loved haven't quite prepared her for starting school in the US--and her new label of "Middle Eastern," an identity she's never known before.

But this life also brings unexpected surprises--there are new friends, a whole new family, and a school musical that Jude might just try out for. Maybe America, too, is a place where Jude can be seen as she really is.

This lyrical, life-affirming story is about losing and finding home and, most importantly, finding yourself.

Great Story with Such a Valuable lesson
Format: Kindle
My 7 year old is reading all these books. He loves this one the most because of the many lessons he learnt from this short story. 1. We should never allow the bad experiences we have to change us. 2. Changing from bad to good is not a light switch so instead choose happiness first and happiness will encourage us to do good things. 3. When others speak badly about us, allow those words to effect positive change instead of wallowing in negative feelings. 4. It’s always good to look into ourselves and make a decision to fix the things that need work. And 5; Keep doing good, soon enough someone will see the changes and
