A review by teachinatardis
In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson by Bette Bao Lord

4.0

I read this book because my husband remembered it so fondly from when he was a kid. The last few pages were missing from the discarded library copy I brought home to read (occupational hazard) but from what I can gather I'm only two pages short so it's fine...lol. The story is impactful in the time period it represents, but is also relevant today. It also represents various cultures surprisingly sensitively. Great read for upper elementary!
