New York Timesย bestseller and Newbery Honor Book!
A gorgeously written, hopeful middle grade novel in verse about a young girl whoย must leave Syria to move to the United States, perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Aisha Saeed.
Jude never thought sheโd 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 havenโt quite prepared her for starting school in the USโand her new label of โMiddle Eastern,โ an identity sheโs never known before.
But this life also brings unexpected surprisesโthere 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.
