Home of the Brave by Katherine Applegate

4.0

---

Challenging and sweet story about a 5th grade boy who moves to the US as a refugee. Sometimes, I thought maybe the author was a little heavy handed to drive points home, but at the same time, I felt like my students needed the book to be that explicit. Read aloud to 6th graders - good experience.
