Other Words for Home















Jude and her mother are Syrian refugees that have just arrived in America.  Her father and brother stayed in Syria and her mother is pregnant.  The book follows Jude's first year in the country as she learns English and tries to find her place in America while staying true to herself.

This is well done and I can see students really warming to this sweet character.
