Like someone said above, this is something that you don't learn about as a kid when being taught World History. I am halfway through the book (on loan from the library, but would LOVE to own a copy)and--not to give anything away--just want to say that how this fictional family survived the refugee camp is mind-boggling, especially given the fact that this is based on real-life experiences. This is most definitely a MUST READ! A great, great story . . . I hope this wins many awards!Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09968456960528987538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481044087917634818.post-27551565686996623662010-05-03T20:52:28.194-04:002010-05-03T20:52:28.194-04:00This sounds like a must read, and it is so amazing...This sounds like a must read, and it is so amazingly wonderful to see U.S. publishers embracing stories that don't take place in the U.S. Yeay!Stacy Nyikoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830844058919457619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481044087917634818.post-50352433303043267172010-05-03T10:00:48.810-04:002010-05-03T10:00:48.810-04:00I love that important stories like these are getti...I love that important stories like these are getting told.
