Dear World: A Syrian Girl's Story of War and Plea for Peace by Bana Alabed

4.0

I picked up this book on a whim when I was walking around the library, and I don't regret it. I don't know why I didn't know about this book earlier. It's very well-written and very descriptive—I hope the author goes on to write many many more books. If you do want to read this book, prepare tissues, some parts are utterly heartbreaking. It helped me learn a lot about the war in Syria and the affect its had on people. The fact that it was written by someone so young definitely helped drive the message home. I also loved the chapters written by the author's mother; it gave a different perspective to the book.
