The Year I Flew Away by Marie Arnold

4.0

I want really sure what to expect with this but it was a surprisingly fun magic realism. I'm not sure if there is any Haitian folklore in this but I wouldn't be surprised if there was. The author was really able to capture life from an immigrants perspective but more surprisingly a child immigrant. Several times I found myself questioning if this was in fact written by an adult because it was so child like (in the best way possible). I will definitely be recommending this to young readers.
