EL, MS - ESSENTIAL
Imani loves her family, but she can’t help but wonder where she came from. She knows she is adopted and feels secluded from the rest of her family. However, when Imani’s great-grandmother dies, she finds a journal that describes Great-grandma Anna’s journey to America from Luxembourg. While she reads, Imani sees her family in a whole new way.
This book was really sweet. It was cool to read about how the small European country of Luxembourg was affected by World War II. It was also really fun to read because about half of the book was the diary of Anna. Mature Content is PG because there is talk of war and how it affects the people around the world.
