(3) YA This well-paced novel (based on true events) introduces Wuditu, an Ethiopian Jewish girl separated from her family members as they attempt to leave their country for repatriation to Israel. Wuditu is a strong and compelling character who, despite horrific travails, retains her dignity and spirit. A "Note to Readers" provides some context; they may need to seek other sources for more background. Glos.
