Were all chapter books this meaningful? I knew it was for children yet why did it impact me so hard? The main character was much more mature and insightful than I expected. I now need to read more chapter books.
Also, this made me cry! Wow! Can´t wait to read the next one
relaxing

Mostly because it took me too long to finish!

I really enjoyed this story about Aref, a young boy about to leave his home in Oman and travel to Michigan in the United States. He doesn’t want to go. But over the week, his mother and especially his grandfather, help Aref to see the journey as an exciting adventure. Great for anyone about to make a big change.

Cute. Great portrayal of a young Arab boy preparing for a big life change with his family. Lovely scenery of Oman and the culture

This is a lovely story about a boy who loves his home and is struggling to say goodbye. I love the relationship between Aref and his grandfather and the adventures they have together during the last few days before the big move.
