this book definitely holds a special place in my heart since it’s about a young girl who had to be separated from her family and had to live in a boarding school far from home because of all the war happening in her country. it highlights the young character’s struggles really well, especially with the way she has to take care of her younger brother without any parental help. i enjoyed this book because it not only highlights the struggles of moving to a different country, but it talks about all sorts of struggles she faces.
