Serafina's Promise by Ann E. Burg
5.0
Serafina has a secret dream. She wants to go to school and become a doctor with her best friend, Julie Marie. But in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, little money, never ending work, and her mother's worries stand in her way. Nothing is stronger than Serafina's resolve, not even an earthquake and heavy rains.
Having watched many news casts following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, I was excited to read Serafina's story. Told in verse, Serafina stays strong when everything seems to be going against her, showing anything is possible if you have hope.
