Description

The Year I Flew Away by Marie Arnold is a magical middle grade novel about a young girl's journey to find her place in America. When ten-year-old Gabrielle moves from Haiti to Brooklyn, she discovers that the country isn't as perfect as she imagined.

With the help of a clever witch, Gabrielle becomes fluent in English and adopts an "American" persona, but soon realizes how much she has lost herself in the process. As she navigates her new life, Gabrielle must confront the challenges of language, culture shock, and bullying, all while trying to hold on to her true identity.

This sweet and lyrical novel is a heartwarming tale of self-discovery and empowerment, as Gabrielle takes on the witch in an epic battle to reverse the spell and find her place in the world.
