Ok here is one of my favorite books, Esperanza Rising. It’s about a girl who flees with her family from Mexico after a terrible tragedy strikes her home. She then settles in a camp for Mexican farm workers. She has always lived a care free life since her family was rich, but now she has to get adjusted to a new hardworking life in California during the Great Depression. Overall it’s an amazing book 10/10 recommend.
Now if you want something easy and quick to read I recommend Inside out and Back Again. It’s about a Vietnamese girl who has to flee her home during the Vietnam War and settle in the U.S. It’s kinda similar to Esperanza Rising but the difference is that this book is a memoir, which is basically a book made up of different poems that together make a story. So pretty easy to read but such a nice story.
Hope this helps and good luck finishing filling out your reading log!
Think about it, the civil war was between the north and the south. The south were confederates who supported the act of keeping slaves. The north were against slavery.
