A review by msjones
Escape from Aleppo by N.H. Senzai

4.0

As someone who has recently realized just how much I love and appreciate Historical Fiction, I greatly love and appreciate this novel as well. The story is utterly heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time. While trying to not give spoilers, I think this novel does a great deal of justice to the injustice that has been happening to Syria and it's people. The main character goes through flashbacks from the past 3 years or so, and ends with her taking the lead and truly having to grow up in her circumstances.

This is a beautiful coming of age novel, and I am excited to make sure that this is in my classroom library to share with students of mine to come.
