this book is about a young girl who immigrates to the United States from Vietnam during the Vietnam war. This book was very emotional as the main character faces many different challenges as she immigrates and tries to find her place in the US. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I think that it would be great for 5th-8th graders.
