An Award Winner

Inside Out & Back Again.

For all the ten years of her life, Hà has only known Saigon: the thrills of its markets, the joy of its traditions, and the warmth of her friends close by. But now the Vietnam War has reached her home. Hà and her family are forced to flee as Saigon falls, and they board a ship headed toward hope. In America, Hà discovers the foreign world of Alabama: the coldness of its strangers, the dullness of its food . . . and the strength of her very own family. 

This book was an award winner in 2011.    When you open this book, you will notice that the writing style is different to what you would normal expect form a novel. Not a bunch of paragraphs, but a novel in verse,  meaning it has a plot but it's written as a bunch of short poems.  

However, as you start to read this book you will see that the poetic style could almost be a diary. 

Inside Out & Back Again, is written in the first person , and almost entirely in past tense. 

It is a easy read, but most certainly a book that you will want to read to the end.
You really do get swept up with Hà and her experience of life.
