Review of 'Inside out and back again' on 'Goodreads'

Short, journal format story of a 10 year old girl living through the Tet Offensive and fleeing Saigon.

Very important, especially for anyone who works with refugees.

If you like this, you'll like Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, and vice versa. That one is a normal novel though.
