Who would like this book? Anyone who is into survival and adventure. I would say this book if for teens 13+.
The goods on this book: From Haiti, Radley has heard of the assassination of America’s new president and the government cracking down on people, and she really wants to go home to her parents. The phone lines are out so she can’t contact them, so she goes ahead and flies home. With no phone charger, worthless credit cards, and no proper traveling papers she starts to walk. Along the way she meets new friends and finds the truth of what happened to her friends and family. This book was really good, but it’s not one of my favorites.
The details: 294 pages; 2012
