Free Verse about Cultural Differences submitted by sdunav on July 23, 2016, 11:14am This would be an interesting (and fairly easy to digest!) read for middle-grade students wanting to experience the point of view of an immigrant to the US. It's also a good look at the difficulties of farming today, the expansion of suburbia, and the difficulties adapting to a totally new way of life. Don't let the cover put you off!
