Inside Out & Back Again

Inside Out & Back Again
Thanhha Lai


In this amazingly beautiful story told in short poem like chapters, Ha tells her family's courageous journey from her childhood home in war torn South Vietnam all the way to her new home in Alabama. 


Throughout the book, Ha and her family are faced with numerous obstacles to overcome.  Will they find their missing father?   Can they escape the Communists and survive on a boat? Will they find a sponsor in the US?  Can they adjust to a new country's customs, language, and be accepted by their new neighbors whom seem so different? 


With Ha's engaging spirit you can't help but root for her as she faces each new challenge with her family by her side.
