Serafina's Promise by Ann E. Burg

5.0

A terrific choice for book clubs! This story has many discussion points, but it reads as true. The events are so foreign to the lives of kids in the US, but touch on what's really important: family and love, health, jobs, food security, education, friendship, trust, etc. I would recommend this for any middle school looking for a one school, one book choice.
A bonus is the prose style delivery. Easy to manage and hard to put down. It would also be easy to provide media/primary sources for the events in this story.
