Book Review

I really enjoy reading Homeless Bird by Gloria Whelan, an award winning book. The story takes place in India. If you’re the kind of person that loves to learn about different cultures and tradition, this is the book for you. Even if you don’t, I still think you’ll enjoy the book because it has a lot more to it. It takes place in India, and even though my not be able to relate to an arranged marriage, I think you can relate to all the feelings that Koly has while going through all that’s happened to her.When I read a couple of pages of the book it caught my attention a lot because, it’s about a thirteen year old girl named Koly that’s having an arranged marriage. I’ve heard of an arranged marriage before but once I started reading this book more in detail, I was shocked in what really has to be done, in order to happen. I like this book a lot also because it had, a message of never giving up. Koly went through many things in her life that were very hard to face, but she did anyway and moved on. Imagine your self in a place where you weren’t wanted, surrounded by people that miss treated you all the time. Some of those things happened to Koly and showed how she got through it, and that’s why I liked the book because it showed a character that fell many times but was strong enough to get back up. A charater that helped her, was a teenage boy named Raji. He was a big part of why Koly turned out so happy. t's a good thing she got back up and tried to make the best of things because little by little, her life got better and better. I really hope you choose to read this book, I promise once you start reading it you wont want to put it down.
