The Night Diary by Veera Hiranandani
4.0
More of these stories should be written and read. Every refugee has a similar, and often worse, story.
I've seen critiques of this book that say they didn't like the diary format, but I think it's appropriately intimate.
My one critique of this book is that it felt a bit slow toward the middle and end, but at the same time it reads like a true story and I don't know that it needs a fantastic climax.
It was interesting to read this book in the context of racial and political tensions in the US right now.
I would highly recommend this book to preteen and teenage readers.
