From Saigon to Alabama is a big leap for Ha and her family but they are happy to be leaving the Vietnam War behind them. Ha has lots to learn about life in her new country from learning to speak English to sorting out bullies. Things are tough but Ha is up to the challenge. Because the story is told in verse, it is a very fast read. Each image is very vivid and you end up laughing out loud at some of Ha's descriptions. It is a great read.
Who would enjoy this? Anyone who appreciates vivid and interesting writing, and a glimpse into a different culture, will enjoy this story.
