Amazing book! Jasmine Warga clearly describes each scene and chapter with immense detail, helping the reader understand what happens clearly throughout the story. Other Words For Home is a book about a girl who moves to America under serious circumstances. Jude - the girl - realizes that it is very important to be brave from her brother, Issa. Throughout this book, Jude stays strong, brave, and ready for anything. It's really inspirational. I recommend this book for pre-teens and early teens, or if preferred, grades 6 to 8.
