a. Grade 5 and up
b. Grade 4 and up
c. I could easily imagine what was happening in my mind. I kept wanting to know when they would arrive and hopefully be safe.
d. The trip that they took from Cuba to Miami I felt was dragging. You don't know what happens to sister and Mother.
e. There's no swearing, or any that I remember.
f. I would recommend this for an elementary school library as well as a middle and high school library. Given the political climate right now, kids could really learn about what refugees have to go through and the risks they take be free. It could also inspire children of immigrant families that no matter where you came from, you can always make something of yourself for a better life.
Sounds like a book with a relevant and timely theme.
