All the Broken Pieces by Ann E. Burg

5.0

This is a great novel in verse for students in the middle grades, but I think it can be appreciated by all ages. Matt is a young boy who has been taken from Vietnam to live in America. He is a bui doi (American father, Vietnamese mother) and has nightmarish memories of his experiences. The poetry flows beautifully. My only complaint is that the book weighed a lot, and my arms got a bit tired holding it. :) This is a gorgeous book. I highly recommend it.
