New York Times bestseller and Newbery Honor Book!
A gorgeously written, hopeful middle grade novel in verse about a young girl who must leave Syria to move to the United States, perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Aisha Saeed.
Jude never thought she'd be leaving her beloved older brother and father behind, all the way across the ocean in Syria. But when things in her hometown start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives.
At first, everything in America seems too fast and too loud. The American movies that Jude has always loved haven't quite prepared her for starting school in the US-and her new label of "Middle Eastern," an identity she's never known before.
But this life also brings unexpected surprises-there are new friends, a whole new family, and a school musical that Jude might just try out for. Maybe America, too, is a place where Jude can be seen as she really is.

適合中年級學生,此書詞彙華麗,充滿希望,講述一位必須離開敘利亞前往美國的年輕女孩,非常適合傑森·雷諾茲和艾莎·賽義德的粉絲。
裘德從來沒有想過她離開留在敘利亞心愛的哥哥和父親。 但是當家鄉開始變得動盪不安時,裘德和她的母親被送往辛辛那提與親戚一起生活。
起初,美國的一切似乎都太快太吵雜。 裘德一直喜歡的美國電影並沒有為她進美國學校做好充分的準備-她的新標籤“中東”是她從未知道的身份。
但是,這一生也帶來了意想不到的驚喜-有新朋友,一個全新的家庭,還有裘德可能會嘗試的學校音樂劇。 也許在美國可以看到裘德的真實面貌。
