This Friday the 13th, don't be a pussy.

Oh sure, you can spend the day avoiding black cats, mirrors and ladders, or you can reclaim Friday the 13th by starting a new book with a mysterious, paranormal or supernatural flavor! Your choice. Choose wisely.

Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga

Category: Novel in Verse

Summary: Jude and her Mama leave their seaside hometown in Syria, leaving behind Jude's Baba and brother Issa, because of the growing conflict in the area. Mama tells Jude they're going to be visiting Jude's uncle in Cincinnati, OH. However, Jude's mother is pregnant and the unrest in Syria is mounting, so their trip becomes a far longer stay than Jude originally thought. During her time in the United States, Jude meets and befriends many different people including her American cousin Sarah, a first-generation American hijabi girl Layla, a wonderful group of ESL classmates, and a boy she gets her first crush on named Miles. Along with navigating social situations and learning a new language, Jude must decide whether to wear a hijab, whether to try out for a speaking role in the school play, and whether home can exist in many different places for one person.

Justification: Other Words for Home became a Newbery Honor Book in 2020. Warga won this award because her writing wonderfully contributes to American literature for children. It showcases a perspective that has often been overlooked, demonstrating the way refugees, particularly young Muslim refugees, might experience America. It provides insight into a conflict that many students may have heard of in passing on the news but may not know too much about, encourages empathy with the main character and her family and friends, and gives representation to young Muslim women who are deciding whether or not to wear a hijab in America. Like so many other books on my list, this one is a “mirror, window, and sliding door" for students.

Reader's Response: Other Words for Home is a very approachable story. Warga's choice to tell the story in free verse is powerful, as it allows readers to connect with Jude's emotions. Even though I could not relate directly to her experiences, I recognized the feelings of loneliness, uncertainty, love, anticipation, nervousness, frustration, etc. that Jude experiences throughout the novel. Warga writes insightfully--it's clear she spoke to many other Muslim women as well as Syrian refugees to create the character of Jude. It's also clear she's writing about a heavy topic for a younger demographic, however, as much of the violence and Islamophobia is presented in a gentler, more palatable way. Older readers will know what is going on, but younger readers may not grasp the depth of the issues she's addressing. In many parts, it seems as though Warga is holding back to shield an audience of younger readers from some of the darker aspects of these topics. This is not necessarily a bad thing because it does make the book more accessible to younger readers. It was an easy read because of the writing style and the story was fast-paced, making it perfect for reluctant readers. I thoroughly enjoyed Jude's journey and cheered for her during her ups and downs. She is a young girl who dreams of being a movie star, misses her best friend and her father and brother, and is adapting to a new environment. I think many children will be able to relate to her and that her story will pave the way for important discussions.

Warga, J. (2019). Other words for home. Balzer + Bray.

Why should teens read YA books? Because sometimes, a book teaching teens to deal with emotions can speak louder than a lecture. Young Adult literature helps teens explore feelings, navigate relationships, and better understand the world around them.

Adventures in the Lake District 1: there’s no better place to go to refresh the mind and get the ideas flowing. We didn’t find too many ghosts up here in the fells, but the lonely tarns and gullies are the perfect hunting ground for outlaws. Scarlett would find it much to her liking. Albert would trip over and roll head first down the scree.
