{"product_id":"home-of-the-brave-1","title":"Home of the Brave","description":"Bestselling author Katherine Applegate presents Home of the Brave, a beautifully wrought middle grade novel about an immigrant's journey from hardship to hope.\n\nKek comes from Africa. In America he sees snow for the first time, and feels its sting. He's never walked on ice, and he falls. He wonders if the people in this new place will be like the winter – cold and unkind.\n\nIn Africa, Kek lived with his mother, father, and brother. But only he and his mother have survived, and now she's missing. Kek is on his own. Slowly, he makes friends: a girl who is in foster care; an old woman who owns a rundown farm, and a cow whose name means \"family\" in Kek's native language. As Kek awaits word of his mother's fate, he weathers the tough Minnesota winter by finding warmth in his new friendships, strength in his memories, and belief in his new country.\n\nHome of the Brave is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312535635\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0312535635.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Applegate, Katherine\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
