Beschreibung

New York Times bestseller and Newbery Honor Book!

A gorgeously written, hopeful middle grade novel in verse about a young girl who must leave Syria to move to the United States, perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Aisha Saeed.
Jude never thought she’d be leaving her beloved older brother and father behind, all the way across the ocean in Syria. But when things in her hometown start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives.
At first, everything in America seems too fast and too loud. The American movies that Jude has always loved haven’t quite prepared her for starting school in the US—and her new label of “Middle Eastern,” an identity she’s never known before.
But this life also brings unexpected surprises—there are new friends, a whole new family, and a school musical that Jude might just try out for. Maybe America, too, is a place where Jude can be seen as she really is.
This lyrical, life-affirming story is about losing and finding home and, most importantly, finding yourself.

Wichtige Themen 🤩

"I’d almost forgotten that it’s possible to cry because of happiness." Dieses Buch einfach Perfektion. Es ist einfach ein Buch, was wir bräuchten. Die Kapitel waren immer 1-2 Seiten, weshalb man sehr schnell durch kam und es war einfach ein süßes kurzes Buch, aber dafür mit sehr wichtigen Themen. Es war einfach mal was anderes von einem zwölfjährigen Immigranten ihr Leben in Amerika zu sehen. Es war mal eine andere Sichtweise & auch der Islam wurde sehr gut dargestellt. Oft war es auch emotional, wo ich kurz Tränen bekam. Must read!🤍

This was a great book. I really feel like I learned a lot from it and it made me think about what I've done in the past. Other Words for Home tells the story of a young girl who has to leave her home to escape a war leaving half of her family behind. The story teaches us so much while it tells the story of her learning English, growing up and dealing with Islamaphobia. I think that this book should be a required read for everyone no matter their age because I think that everyone could learn something from the messages it holds.
