The Bone Sparrow by Zana Fraillon

4.0

---

I received this book a day before it was officially released and have been recommending it to everyone I know since page one. The book follow the lives of two children, no more than 10, who both lead drastically different lives. One who constantly moves around due to her dad's job and just recently lost her mother, Jimmie, and Subhi, a Rohyingan boy born a refugee and never seen the world outside of fence walls. When one day their paths collide and it seems this encounter has a large chain reaction. Through the growing friendship of Subhi and Jimmie as well as the struggles going on in camp, the reader learns how precious life can be and how important imagination in a child is.
