5.0

i read this book for middle school book club and it was my favorite out of the ones we read that year. the plot was good, the writing was beautiful and elegant, the characters were captivating, and i wish i remembered more of the plot. i want to reread this again because it was one of the first diverse books i read and i just really remember loving it and the book making me think and become interested in other cultures and history. i also got to meet the other and she signed my book, and she was really sweet and kind and a good person, she spoke about her life and experiences and i wish i could remember more, but i'd love to have a conversation with her, especially now.
