I am moving from my home country to another country, for reasons beyond my control. I’m very unhappy about it, but I’m trying to look for the opportunities in this move. I would like to find a book that tells a story I can relate to, and then maybe this will help me cope better. Preferrably, I would like a book where the main character ends up being happy in the new location.
I’m not sure what age-level you prefer; however, I found some YA Fiction:
*A Step From Heaven by An Na:
This book spans Young Ju’s life from four years of age right up to college. It is a story about discovery and endurance. When Young Ju is told her family is moving from Korea, she thinks they are going to heaven. Instead, she is thrust into a foreign country, America. It is as much a story about moving away as it is about clashing cultures and the pain of fitting in. Astounding work!
*The Watsons Go To Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis:
This is not exactly moving to another country, but rather another state. Kenny Watson is a hard-working student from Flint, Michigan, unlike his troublemaker of a brother, Byron. When Byron goes too far, Mr and Mrs. Watson decide to take the whole family to their maternal grandmother in Birmingham, Alabama. Read to find out what happens! I enjoyed it!
*Fresh Off the Boat by Melissa de la Cruz
Vicenza Arambullo (14) has recently moved to San Francisco. Back home, she had countless luxuries and lived a wonderful life. Suddenly, her parents decide to move to America and Vicenza’s life is turned upside down. After the move, she finds herself alienated from those around her, trying very hard to fit in. Read to find out what happens!
The following book has just a tad bit about moving away:
*The Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett:
Sara Crewe’s father sends her to an England boarding school from India. There, she is treated like royalty by the headmistress because her father is so rich. When Sara’s father dies, all of her money is lost; Mrs. Minchin has no reason now to treat Sara well. Instead, she neglects Sara and uses her as a maid. A beatiful story about loss, courage and life.
I wish you the best of luck!
