Wonderful
Format: Paperback
This book is amazing. I purchased for a reading competition but quickly fell in love. Highly recommend for a middle school level student. Written in verse but easy to read.

This gorgeous MG novel in verse is a MUST READ!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Words cannot adequately express how much Jordanian-American author Jasmine Warga’s novel “Other Words for Home” means to me.
Growing up, I never read stories about people like me or families like my own because they simply didn’t exist. Books with Arab and/or Arab-American characters, being wholly human, navigating issues of identity and belonging, interrogating what “home” means were never written. Too bad.
I’m elated that that’s changing, though, and that there are Arab-Americans who are writing these stories *with such immense skill and heart.*
This is the first middle grade novel I’ve read in literally decades and it just encouraged me to order many more. It is poetic and hopeful and so thoughtfully written. I can barely remember the last time I loved a character as much as I love brave and precious Jude.
I cried and cheered many times along this journey.
Seriously, if you work with middle graders, have middle graders, or are a lover of children’s literature yourself—YOU MUST check out this gorgeous novel in verse.
The only downside (and it's a big one) is that it ends.

One of the best books I have read this year!
Format: Hardcover
This is a beautiful novel-in-verse that will stay with me for a very long time. It is a must read for anyone middle grade or older.
What I loved:
- The Poetry- intriguing similes and metaphors, emotions captured on the page, powerful language
- The Perspective- I appreciated that the protagonist was not from Aleppo, but from a vacation town on the sea in Syria. This shows a different perspective than I have seen, but one that is equally as important. Jude and her mother then come to stay with her uncle in America, and again, the perspective was different than other "refugee" stories but equally powerful.
- The People- Jude is protagonist to cheer for, however, there are so many dynamic, diverse characters in this story.

Timely, Necessary & Important
Format: Hardcover
Oh, I absolutely adored Jasmine Warga’s Other Words for Home, a moving story told in verse of a Syrian girl and her mother fleeing from their home in their war torn country. It’s impossible not to feel empathetic towards the family as they are split up over the turmoil. I was immersed in Jude’s thoughts, feelings, and experiences in America as it was so poetically and honestly written. The Arabic proverbs referred to in the story were so beautiful and poignant, enhancing an already authentic, necessary and emotional look into the life of immigrants. This novel should be in every school library as it unabashedly encourages the need for kindness and understanding for all...important messages we should always be teaching and promoting...and students . I love having and supporting students like Jude in my class as they beam with pride learning and overcoming challenges—it warms my heart when they feel accepted and loved as they should.
