Okay submitted by shivatavane on July 17, 2019, 7:28pm It is a great story but I think it would have been better if they made three different books for each person.

good book submitted by liqian on August 2, 2019, 3:33pm it was confusing to switch between the characters but overall it was a really good book.

Amazing! submitted by skalantr on August 23, 2019, 11:00am The story of 3 refugees collides in very surprising ways.

Tough subject submitted by Xris on April 23, 2021, 8:59am This book was a bit hard for me to get through, because such awful things were happening to the characters. But it was a great, important story, and I loved how the three timelines got woven together at the end. And I liked how it was based on things that actually happened. I usually like to read things that relate to a book I like, but I think reading about the St. Louis would be too sad for me right now.

Parent reference submitted by leah karr on August 22, 2022, 10:18am My son read this book in 5th grade. The conversations he initiated with me while reading this book were thoughtful and full of questions. I recommend it highly!
