A GREAT BOOK!!!!!!!

Review by Rinochka

I have this book at home, and it is awesome! You should totally choose it! Short summary: An Israeli girl has to move with her family to America, because of her father's job. She does NOT like it at first; I mean, who would if they had to leave everything they know behind? A great book!
