In this novel, told in verse, readers get a peek into the eyes of Jude, a young Syrian refuge coming to America for the first time. As Jude starts a new school, takes ESL classes, and tries to explain to people that she wears a hijab by choice, she learns that not everyone is as accepting as she had thought. Is America really the place that Jude had thought it was? If you like acting, you\u2019ll enjoy reading about Jude\u2019s quest to be in the school\u2019s production of Beauty and the Beast. As always, if you have a book you want me to review on the show, email me at hookofabookpodcast@gmail.com.
