Wings to Soar

It's 1972, and ten-year-old Viva's Indian family has been expelled from Uganda and sent to a resettlement camp in England, waiting for a father who never arrives to meet them. As Viva and her family face open hostility in their new London neighborhood, she is determined to reunite her family and find a way to the new life they were promised. Told in verse, this is an eye-opening choice for students because it brings an underexplored refugee crisis to life through a resilient, memorable narrator.
