speechless
This book is amazing so far im gonna try no to spoil anything but im at a part were people are trying to get to america and start a new life and i didnt spoil anything because its on the back of the book but I really like how it shows multiple perspectives from three different people.
This book is amazing! I read it a little while ago. My favorite part was when the stories connected at the end.
Although I have not read this book I know I'd love it. It really outlines the struggles faced by refugees and their willingness to do what's good for them or their family.
I read this book two times because that was how good it was. It was very sad though, but very eye-opening. This book is realistic fiction and divided into three different stories which makes the book go by faster in my opinion. The three stories were mixed together, so that was really cool and I enjoyed how it turned out at the end.
This book called refugee is about three kids experience in a Syrian-war what life was like and how they survived and how they had to face some challenges and get over the challenges.
you should read the onest truth it is very sad but good.
I loved this book because it makes you feel emotional and give empathy for the characters. It makes you feel very lucky to be safe. It also gives you the idea of what is happening in other countries that might not have been aware of. The characters face a lot of action which makes you want to read more. The characters are Josef, a jewish boy trying to escape the Holocaust. Isabel, a Cuban refugee trying to escape from the horrid president. Then theres Mahmoud, a Syrian refugee trying to escape the war. I recommend this book to 4th grade to adults!
Alan Gratz has his writing figured out with this book. Personally I didnt like Prisoner B-3087, but this one is amazing! There is a perfect amount of suspense and dialogue that you wont want to put the book down!
