review 1: After her mom's death, thirteen-year-old Clare's world is turned upside down. Her father takes a job halfway across the world as a doctor in Malawi, and Clare gives him the silent treatment in protest. She would rather be anywhere but Malawi, with its strange foods, crowded school, and dangerous animals lurking about. But, soon, Clare starts to see the beauty in Malawi and in its people. She makes friends with Memory, a girl from her school who has also lost her mom. Clare is only going to be in Malawi for 9 weeks, but her adventure will stay with her for a lifetime.This wasn't really my cup of tea. I thought it was fine, but not really something I'm aching to read again.
review 2: I loved reading about an unfamiliar place in the world. In this book you'll see... more the African country of Malawi through Clare's eyes. At first she's so mad her dad brought her there to live for a few months so soon after her mother's death that she won't even speak to him. As the novel progresses, Clare grows in ways she couldn't have imagined. In a way, this is also a journey novel, like Max the Mighty. Let me know if you read it! I'd love to learn more now about Malawi. Maybe we can find some non-fiction and learn together! less
