Books By Blei - Multicultural: Goodbye, Vietnam by Gloria Whelman

Goodbye, Vietnam
by Gloria Whelan

Recommended by:  Alberto V.
This book is about a girl named Mai who is trying to escape her country, Vietnam, with her family. Mai is trying to escape by taking a boat with her family to Hong Kong, and then a plane to America, but the passengers of the boat are struggling for food, water, and space. My favorite part of the book was when Mai's Grandmother saved the family's trip by giving one duck to the police officer. What I like about the writing style is how they explain everything with a lot of detail.

This book was: An amazing book!

I would recommend this book to:  Surprising story readers.

I rate this book:
