Mud City by Deborah Ellis

BATB score: 8.5/10

Best to: know that a child living in UNHCR refugee camp does not necessarily mean 'rescued'

Best for: Deborah Ellis' fans - or collectors of Deborah Ellis books; best to have read "The Breadwinner" and "Parvana's Journey" prior to considering this book

Best as: I wish that elementary school kids have Deborah Ellis books as required reading; 'Of Mice and Men' or 'To Kill a MockingBird' or 'Anne Frank' are great books. However, these are unrelatable today.

I wish that kids these days understand how blessed they are and how the world truly is with kids calling refugee camps 'home'.
