The seventh Iowa Children's Choice Award nominee that I chose to read was Inside Out & Back Again by Thanhha Lai.
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Description: A story about a fourth grade girl who is forced to leave her home in Saigon when the Vietnam war arrives there. Her and her family relocate to Alabama and begin to adapt to a very different way of life.
Great look and a different way of life and a reminder that different isn't bad!
