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.

 

这是一部文笔华丽、充满希望的中年级诗歌小说,讲述了一个必须离开叙利亚迁往美国的小女孩,非常适合杰森-雷诺兹和艾莎-赛义德的粉丝。裘德从未想过她会离开她心爱的哥哥和父亲,远赴大洋彼岸的叙利亚。但是,当她家乡的事情开始变得不稳定时,裘德和她的母亲被送到辛辛那提的亲戚那里生活。

 

起初,美国的一切似乎都太快了,太吵了。裘德一直喜欢的美国电影还没有为她在美国开始上学做好准备,而且她的新标签是"中东人",这是她以前从未知道的身份但这种生活也带来了意想不到的惊喜--有新的朋友,有一个全新的家庭,还有一个学校的音乐剧,裘德可能会去参加。也许美国也是一个可以让人看到裘德真实面目的地方。
