pickWhat a great story about a refugee who survived a massacre in the DR of Congo. She continues her memoir by explaining her journey to the US and how she had to learn how to feel herself in a forgein country.
panFunny little book - about 60 pages are a summary of notes for a book about the wreck of the Batavia and the subsequent massacre, but with some smug asides that just made the author seem unpleasant. The author rightly points us to a better book on the wreck (by Mike Dash) and notes from which he has drawn much of the information he presents. Essentially, no reason to read this.
Prosper is an essay on a tuna fishing trip. I didn't care.

pickThe reading level is pretty easy that I feel like a sixth grader could understand it; however, it does talk about war, violence, and sexual assault might not be appropriate for young readers.

That‘s what I call a home run!!!!!!
pickWOW! This is a memoir written by a someone who survived the Gatumba Massacre. Sometimes graphic, but well written.
But I have learned that if we want to change the world, we can‘t harden our hearts and shut ourselves off from other cultures. We must open up our hearts. We must not fall prey to the kind of thinking that separates us.
