A beautiful novel in verse, moving and lyrical, with wide-ranging emotions. Like the main character Jude says, I was happy and sad at the same time.
Sent with her mother to the safety of a relative's home in Cincinnati when her Syrian hometown is overshadowed by violence, Jude worries for the family members left behind as she adjusts to a new life with unexpected surprises.

I am the library manager at Worthington Park Library. I love all kinds of books, but my favorites are about adventures big and small, especially if they're mysterious or magical. I have a soft spot for graphic novels of all types. I also love to hike and camp, play music and pretend I'm actually going to complete a craft project.
