bailedThis book gets high praise in the Netherlands but I didn‘t like it at all. A parade of northern African people travel between Amsterdam and Paris where all of them live and meet and tell stories. Because there are so many of them it all feels kind of disconnected . So after 50%, I bailed.
For several weeks, Max and the rest of the little group made themselves as comfortable as they could in the cellar of a burned-out house. ... they waited for word that they could cross [the Russian border]. The Broido girl spent the days reading popular French novels that she found in the house. Many years later, she could not forget the strange contrast between the abandoned streets outside and the book-lined rooms of the empty house...

My favorite book in January was Dan Santat‘s graphic novel memoir about a trip he took to Europe in middle school. It‘s a wonderful story about all sorts of “firsts,” including first love, as well as the joys, embarrassments, fun, and adventure that comes with being a teenager. A delightful read beginning to end.
