Hey, Ali here! Just wanted to let you guys know about a great book I'm reading right now. That's right, I haven't even finished it, and yet I'm recommending it to you. Ya know it's gotta be good. The book is "Over a Thousand Hills I Walk With You" by Hanna Jansen. It's based on the true story of a girl named Jeanne whose entire family was killed in the 1994 Rwandan genocide, when she was only 8 years old. The book is written by her German foster mother, and translated into English by, umm....some translator whose identity I am not sure of. I'm about halfway through, and it's really great so far - a horrible event told through the eyes of a young girl who really isn't sure what it's all about. It's also really well written...translated...whatever. Anyway, I really suggest this book to anyone who likes reading true stories....or just reading in general.
Lotsa love,
Ali
