Home of the Brave by Katherine Applegate

4.0

Kek, a refugee from Africa adjusting to life in the US. He is living with his aunt and his cousin Ganwar, who lost a hand when Kek's brother and father were killed. He does not know where his mother is but lives in hope that she will be found and join him. He misses cows and finds work helping an older woman with her one, until she has to move. Slowly he makes his way. Excellent short novel in verse, especially when our country is one again finding it difficult to accept refugees.
