In this novel, told in verse, readers get a peek into the eyes of Jude, a young Syrian refuge coming to America for the first time. As Jude starts a new school, takes ESL classes, and tries to explain to people that she wears a hijab by choice, she learns that not everyone is as accepting as she had thought. Is America really the place that Jude had thought it was? If you like acting, you’ll enjoy reading about Jude’s quest to be in the school’s production of Beauty and the Beast. As always, if you have a book you want me to review on the show, email me at [email protected]. Thank you to all of the people who have requested books already!
