Home+of+the+Brave

Home of the Brave by Katherine Applegate Sixth-grader Kek has just been relocated from his war-torn village in Sudan to a big town in Minnesota. It’s hard to learn English and get used to this strange, cold place. His father and brother are dead, he’s not sure where his mother is - but with time, he makes a new friend and finds a place for himself.

I liked this book because it helped me understand what it must be like to be an immigrant from such a different country. I know how hard it is to not understand what people are saying when I have visited other countries and do not speak the language.
