Book Review: House Without Walls
House Without Walls
by Ching Yeung Russell
Yellow Jacket
Children’s Fiction , Middle Grade
Pub Date 04 Jun 2019
I am reviewing a copy of House Without Walls through Yellow Jacket and Netgalley:
It’s 1979 and eleven year old Lam and her brother escape Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnamese Boat People Exodus. They manage to survive unbearable conditions, without food, and little water
This is a powerful story, of loss, of building a new life and of surviving against all odds, written in the lyrical forms, it would be a book I highly recommend to Middle Grade readers. It would be a great opening to talking about The Vietnamese Boat People Exodus and all they must have endured!
I give House Without Walls five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
