Inside Out & Back Again

Inside Out & Back Again by Thanhha Lai

When Ha and her family are forced to leave Saigon as refugees during the Vietnam War, she never dreams she will end up in Alabama. Ha's story, told in poems, begins with the life they are living in Saigon, where Ha's favorite thing is her mango tree, and details their journey aboard a ship until finally being sponsored by a family in Alabama. But Alabama is not home, and Ha must find her way in this strange new world.
