It's a place to eat, sleep, rest, and live. For a refugee, the concept of home is ever-changing, ever-moving, ever- wavering. And often, it doesn't have any walls at all. Eleven-year-old Lam escapes from Vietnam with Dee Dee during the Vietnamese Boat People Exodus in 1979, when people from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia fled their homelands for safety. For a refugee, the trip is a long and perilous one, filled with dangerous encounters with pirates and greedy sailors, a lack of food and water, and even the stench of a dead body onboard. When they finally arrive at a refugee camp, Lam befriends Dao, a girl her age who becomes like a sister-a welcome glimmer of happiness after a terrifying journey. Readers will feel as close to Lam as the jade pendant she wears around her neck, sticking by her side throughout her journey as she experiences fear, crushing loss, boredom, and some small moments of joy along the way. Written in verse, this is a heartfelt story that is sure to build empathy and compassion for refugees around the world escaping oppression. 521 0 Text Difficulty 3 - Text Difficulty 4 521 2 MG/Middle grades (4th-8th) 521 8 750|bLexile. 521 8 5|bATOS Level 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York :|cYellow Jacket, |d2019.|nRequires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1865 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB). 650 7 Juvenile Literature.|2OverDrive 650 7 Poetry.|2OverDrive 650 17 Juvenile Fiction.|2OverDrive 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 1 |cOriginal|z9781499808759 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/4948256 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby. 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=e43cb6d9- 0fa2-4e04-bdd7-ab48fea0c1bb&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0439-1/ %7BE43CB6D9-0FA2-4E04-BDD7-AB48FEA0C1BB%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/0439-1/ %7BE43CB6D9-0FA2-4E04-BDD7-AB48FEA0C1BB%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
