The Turtle of Oman by Naomi Shihab Nye

1.0

Not a book for me. Interesting to learn about another culture? Yes. Moving away/homesickness--these are issues that kids can absolutely connect with. But it just wasn't a book for me. Life is too short to waste it on books that aren't for you--I will confess to not reading this in its entirety (I did give it a fair chance--read 100+ pages and read the last couple chapters). Will others like, enjoy, even love this book? I'm sure they will...I just wasn't one of them.
