A review by jaimek926
Almost American Girl by Robin Ha

emotional reflective fast-paced

4.0

This was a great nonfiction graphic novel. It tells the authors’ story of growing up in Korea before her mother springs a move to America on her. From there, it’s a story of Robin trying to find her place in a new country where she doesn’t even know the language.

It was an emotional and reflective novel on her pre-teen and teen years, but one my favorite images was Robin trying to understand English and gibberish characters appearing in the place of words she didn’t understand. It was an amazing way to show a non native English speakers struggle with the language. I would definitely recommend this one.
