For a refugee, the trip is a long and perilous one, filled with dangerous encounters with pirates and greedy sailors, a lack of food and water, and even thestench of a dead body onboard. When they finally arrive at a refugee camp, Lam befriends Dao, a girl her age whobecomes like a sister-a welcome glimmer of happiness after a terrifying journey.Readers will feel as close to Lam as the jade pendant she wears around her neck, sticking by her side throughouther journey as she experiences fear, crushing loss, boredom, and some small moments of joy along the way.Written in verse, this is a heartfelt story that is sure to build empathy and compassion for refugees around the worldescaping oppression.
