This was such a fascinating and unique story. I rarely see representation of immigrants, much less from Haiti, in young adult novels but I think this one did a great job showing the experience of moving to a completely different place with a very small or nonexistent support system and how you try to survive. It was also a very emotional book, which was kind of what I expected, but some of the revelations surprised me anyhow. Either way, I think this is an important book that doesn’t get enough hype.
