Bank Street Ready-to-Read series.
Illustrated by
Melissa Sweet.
In this book for young readers about a Vietnamese boy's flight from his homeland to America, Tuan Ngo endures a midnight escape by boat, days adrift on the open sea, an encounter with pirates, and long months of waiting in refugee camps. Accompanied by watercolor illustrations, the sparely told story is somewhat flat. An author's note provides additional information about the Vietnamese civil war and the fate of Tuan Ngo's family.
