This is a story about a 12 year old girl named Nour who lives in Syria and her and her family have to escape from war and bombing and about a story on a girl named Rawiya who was a mapmakers apprentice. Nour follows the same path that Rawiya took many years ago. It is a story of heartbreak, family, and finding home. This wasn’t my favorite book that I have read and it took me a while to get through it. The part about Nour and her family was more interesting to me than the part about Rawiya, so I just wanted to get to the part about Nour. I felt like the book was really really slow paced which I didn’t like. There was a lot of imagery and talking in colors which I found to just be too much and I just wanted to know what was really going on. Overall, the message was good but wasn’t my favorite book.
