jill 's review for:
Home of the Brave
by Katherine Applegate
My (almost 8yo) son and I agreed that this was perhaps the best book we've ever read together. A lushly and poetically written fictional account of a refugee from Sudan, trying to cope and make a new life in Minnesota, it revealed a world my son has never heard about (civil wars in Africa? refugee camps? never having seen dishwashers or washing machines?) and was fascinated by. We laughed, were moved, and are determined to read more Applegate. In the meantime, he has just started re-reading this on his own.
