Home of the Brave by Katherine Applegate
Kek, an African refugee, is confronted by many strange things at the Minneapolis home of his aunt and cousin, as well as in his fifth-grade classroom, and longs for his missing mother, but finds comfort in the company of a cow and her owner.
This book has been added to my list of all-time favorites. The writing is so beautiful. It is like the author took a paint brush and painted metaphors and imagery across the page. The story is one of hope. I absolutely love this book! ****
This book explained a story about a boy who changed his whole life. thhis book made me happy and sad and every thing imbtween! i incourage everyone to read it.
***** I'm going to give this book a five star rate it is a very heart warming story. When an African tribe gets attacted a boy named Kek comes to liv in America he goes though twist and turns but finds a happy ending.
**** This book was amazing. It's hard to learn how to speak a whole other language in such short little time. Kek has to learn how to live like an american. HE'S NEVER SEEN SNOW! It was a good book .
*** I liked this book because I liked how books make me feel sad and happy. I thought it was sad that he didnt know what anything was. I recomend this book to everyone.
** this book was okay kek is coming from africa and he comes to live with his aunt and cousin and his mama is missing but he still belives that she is still alive but everybody dobts him and he just needs to face facts that his mama is just gone.
I liked how kek's mother came back at the end. I also thought it was sad that his family menbers died in africa.I also liked how they took the cow to the zoo.
