Very good teen novel written in verse. A fast read that I put in my queue and had forgotten was for middle-school readers until I got started. Lovely, insightful, and interesting. A young Syrian girl and her mother travel to Cincinnati, Ohio to live with family, while the father and brother stay in Syria. The story takes place during the first 9 months of their new life in America. You can zip through this, but slow down to better enjoy the rhythm and the story.
