Journey Home

Mai is a girl who is about to take a trip to Vietnam to help her Mom find her birth family who disappeared during the Vietnam War.  Mai is determined to help solve the mystery.  She wonders what she will learn about her Mom’s past and also what she will learn about herself.  Mai discovers that what happened in the past will change her life forever.  This is a story about self-discovery and finding oneself through family history. 

The stories I have read from historical fiction were amazing this week.  I love learning about history but learning about it through fiction was new for me.  Also learning about it from authors who have simplified it for young children was really interesting.
