Written in verse and inspired by the author’s own refugee experience, this critically acclaimed novel offers a poignant, educational, and deeply personal look at family, immigration, and hope. ## Description Inside Out and Back Again is a #1 New York Times bestseller, a Newbery Honor Book, and a winner of the National Book Award! Inspired by the author''s childhood experience as a refugee—fleeing Vietnam after the Fall of Saigon and immigrating to Alabama—this coming-of-age debut novel told in verse has been celebrated for its touching child''s-eye view of family and immigration. Hà has only ever known Saigon: the thrills of its markets, the joy of its traditions, and the warmth of her friends close by. But now the Vietnam War has reached her home. Hà and her family are forced to flee as Saigon falls, and they board a ship headed toward hope—toward America. This moving story of one girl''s year of change, dreams, grief, and healing received four starred reviews, including one from Kirkus which proclaimed it "enlightening, poignant, and unexpectedly funny." An author''s note explains how and why Thanhhà L?i translated her personal experiences into Hà''s story. This paperback edition also includes an interview with the author, an activity you can do with your family, tips on writing poetry, and discussion questions. Review: Very profound! - This was a very interesting read. Told completely through verse, it tells such a complete story that I was very impressed and surprised at how much I enjoyed it. This book tells the story of Ha, a little girl, who found herself immigrating to the United States with her family after the fall of Saigon. It is a story about holding on to your past, your home, your family, and struggling to move forward into the future. It is a story that tells the difficult journey of leaving a place you are so attached with to finding a new home in Alabama, learning a new language, making new friends, eating food you are not familiar with and having a new life. It was very heartfelt and very profound, and the fact that it is based on the author's experiences makes it all the more real. I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to. Review: Great storyline - Written by Felix, age 10 I like how this book has a great storyline, though it is in written in the style of lots of different poems. It also fits in with the lessons I am learning about in class. I am learning about WWII and discrimination so it’s great to learn about the effects of another war too. ## Features - HarperCollins Publishers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 560,532 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 388 in Exploring Asia for Children 2,700 in Children's Books on Family Life 2,725 in Fiction About Family for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 7,261 Reviews | ## Images ![Inside Out and Back Again: A Newbery Honor Award Winner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QvH+TuqDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very profound! *by S***D on 28 May 2018* This was a very interesting read.
