I am already curious about the main character and the conflict. Great review and thanks for sharing. :) <br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101126112369382176.post-55938884078631884222016-03-15T14:37:27.135-07:002016-03-15T14:37:27.135-07:00OK, that really does sound interesting.OK, that really does sound interesting.Tabatha Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534531240449672811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101126112369382176.post-43805240298414904022016-03-15T08:33:25.877-07:002016-03-15T08:33:25.877-07:00Sounds very interesting!

Yet I remember loving a book called NORTH TO FREEDOM by Anne Holm when I was in fifth grade. And the author never tells you what country David escapes from to head north. And I also recently read BEL CANTO, an adult novel by Ann Patchett which takes place in an unnamed South American country. And it didn't bother me too much. I think if it's described well, it works.Joanne R.

But an unnamed country isn't an obstacle if it's richly drawn. I found myself thinking about ISIS and the refugees as I read your review. For so many kids, they mightn't even know *where* they're at. I will look for this book. Thank you for your helpful reviews.Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101126112369382176.post-10429011515212409172016-03-14T08:49:39.912-07:002016-03-14T08:49:39.912-07:00I think an unnamed setting is better because then ...I think an unnamed setting is better because then readers from many countries can identify with it.Alex J.
