A great #ownvoices YA story about Vietnamese siblings separated during the Vietnam war and trying to reunite after they immigrate to the United States. I loved how Hang was so into and good at Rap/spoken word poetry and my heart broke for her when she had to leave her brother behind as she was given passage to America. Her struggle to find and reunite with her brother in America was highly compelling and this is definitely one I will happily recommend! For fans of Elizabeth Acevado and Cookie Hiponia Everman.
