A review by jbridges3
The Turtle of Oman by Naomi Shihab Nye

4.0

I read this one with the kiddo for his homeschool program. Originally I go into these sorts of novels with an open mind but not much of an expectation (a 10 yr old's sensibility is rather different than a nearly 50 yr old's most would agree). However, in this novel I found it rather intriguing to see the world I'm entirely unfamiliar with (Middle East, Muslim) through this young man's eyes. And, then, him seeing our American world through his. I was pleasantly surprised and engaged.
