Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai

This story is about a girl named Ha who tries to escape the Vietnam War. She is the youngest out of five and is the only girl. They must go to Alabama for a year to live with her uncle. She must try to learn to speak English. It was also hard for her because her father had died from serving in the war.
I liked this book because it was a combination of something funny, sad, and serious. It is one of the best books I've read.
