Inside Out and Back Again

About This Book

In 1975, ten-year-old Hà and her family flee Saigon and find themselves in Alabama, where everything is strange — the food, the language, the cruelty of classmates, and the kindness of unexpected strangers. Thanhha Lai's autobiographical novel in verse is spare and searing, capturing the experience of refugee resettlement with unflinching clarity and beauty. A National Book Award winner.
