Samira Surfs by Rukhsanna Guidroz
4.0
Samira's voice is really strong and an important edition to middle grade fiction. I learned so much about the Rohingya people and their continued struggle to find a home. Set on the Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangledesh, Samira and her family have fled their native homeland of Burma (now Mynmar) due of violence. She want's to go to school and learn to read and later, to learn to surf. The pacing is a bit slow but I hope that readers will stick with it to learn more about this part of the world.
