This is ideal for those who love realistic fiction dealing with difficult topics and complex lives. Readers of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han will enjoy this novel.
Young listeners will thoroughly enjoy the multiple voices and the descriptive text on audio, but to get the full experience they will want to have a copy of the book nearby.
Listeners will be drawn to the well-developed and realistic characters and short chapters that keep the poignant, powerful story flowing. Highly recommended.–Sheila Acosta, San Antonio Public Library
A comprehensive and fascinating study of a medical and social disaster, and of the relationship between health and war, perhaps best read in print to appreciate the firsthand documents and illustrations.
