She urgently needs to get out and get back home to Bogotá\, where her father and a plane ticket to the United States are waiting for her. If she misses her flight\, she might also miss her chance to finally be reunited with her family. \nHow this family came to occupy two different countries\, two different worlds\, comes into focus like twists of a kaleidoscope. We see Talia’s parents\, Mauro and Elena\, fall in love in a market stall as teenagers against a backdrop of civil war and social unrest. We see them leave Bogotá with their firstborn\, Karina\, in pursuit of safety and opportunity in the United States on a temporary visa\, and we see the births of two more children\, Nando and Talia\, on American soil. We witness the decisions and indecisions that lead to Mauro’s deportation and the family’s splintering—the costs they’ve all been living with ever since. \nAward-winning\, internationally acclaimed author Patricia Engel\, herself a dual citizen and the daughter of Colombian immigrants\, gives voice to all five family members as they navigate the particulars of their respective circumstances. Rich with Bogotá urban life\, steeped in Andean myth\, and tense with the daily reality of the undocumented in America\, Infinite Country “is as much an all-American story as it is a global one” (Booklist\, starred review). \nYoung Adult/Fiction: \nWhat Makes Us by Rafi Mittlefehldt\nISBN: 9781536219050 \nBook description:\nA viral video reveals a teen’s dark family history\, leaving him to reckon with his heritage\, legacy\, and identity in this fiery\, conversation-starting novel. \nEran Sharon knows nothing of his father except that he left when Eran was a baby. Now a senior in high school and living with his protective but tight-lipped mother\, Eran is a passionate young man deeply interested in social justice and equality. When he learns that the Houston police have launched a program to increase traffic stops\, Eran organizes a peaceful protest. But a heated moment at the protest goes viral\, and a reporter connects the Sharon family to a tragedy fifteen years earlier — and asks if Eran is anything like his father\, a supposed terrorist. Soon enough\, Eran is wondering the same thing\, especially when the people he’s gone to school and temple with for years start to look at him differently. Timely\, powerful\, and full of nuance\, Rafi Mittlefehldt’s sophomore novel confronts the prejudices\, fears\, and strengths of family and community\, striking right to the heart of what makes us who we are. \nMiddle Grades/Non-Fiction\, graphic novel: \nWhen Stars Are Scattered by Victoria Jamieson and Omar Mohammed\nISBN: 9780525553908 \nBook description:\nA National Book Award Finalist\, this remarkable graphic novel is about growing up in a refugee camp\, as told by a former Somali refugee to the Newbery Honor-winning creator of Roller Girl. \nOmar and his younger brother\, Hassan\, have spent most of their lives in Dadaab\, a refugee camp in Kenya. Life is hard there: never enough food\, achingly dull\, and without access to the medical care Omar knows his nonverbal brother needs. So when Omar has the opportunity to go to school\, he knows it might be a chance to change their future . . . but it would also mean leaving his brother\, the only family member he has left\, every day. \nHeartbreak\, hope\, and gentle humor exist together in this graphic novel about a childhood spent waiting\, and a young man who is able to create a sense of family and home in the most difficult of settings. It’s an intimate\, important\, unforgettable look at the day-to-day life of a refugee\, as told to New York Times Bestselling author/artist Victoria Jamieson by Omar Mohamed\, the Somali man who lived the story. \nChildren’s Picture book: \nStory Boat by Kyo Maclear\, Illustrated by Rashin Kheiriyeh\nISBN: 9780735263598 \nBook description:\nWhen you have to leave behind almost everything you know\, where can you call home? Sometimes home is simply where we are: here. An imaginative\, lyrical\, unforgettable picture book about the migrant experience through a child’s eyes. \nWhen a little girl and her younger brother are forced along with their family to flee the home they’ve always known\, they must learn to make a new home for themselves — wherever they are. And sometimes the smallest things — a cup\, a blanket\, a lamp\, a flower\, a story — can become a port of hope in a terrible storm. As the refugees travel onward toward an uncertain future\, they are buoyed up by their hopes\, dreams and the stories they tell — a story that will carry them perpetually forward. \nThis timely\, sensitively told story\, written by multiple award–winner Kyo Maclear and illustrated by Sendak Fellowship recipient Rashin Kheiriyeh\, introduces very young readers in a gentle\, non-frightening and ultimately hopeful way to the current refugee crisis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReadDavidson Playlist\nCheck out recordings of past events here Version OptionsReadDavidsonHeadline. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors\nThe ReadDavidson initiative would not be possible without the support of the following sponsors: \n\nMain Street Books\nCharlotte Mecklenburg Library\nDavidson Public Library\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrior ReadDavidson selections\n2022: Infinite Country by Patricia Engel; What Makes Us by Rafi Mittlefehldt; When Stars are Scattered by Victoria Jamieson and Omar Mohamed; Story Boat by Kyo Maclear \n2021: Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent by Isabel Wilkerson; Legendborn by Tracy Deonn; Genesis Begins Again by Alicia Williams; The Power of One by Trudy Ludwig \n2019: Varina by Charles Frazier \n2018: News of the World by Paulette Jiles \n2017: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel \n2016: Wherever There is Light by Peter Golden \n2015: Guests on Earth by Lee Smith \n2014: One Second After by William Forstchen \n2013: A Land More Kind Than Home by Wiley Cash \n2012: State of Wonder by Ann Patchett \n2011: The Help by Kathryn Stockett \n2010: A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson \n2009: The Color of Water by James McBride \n2008: One Foot in Eden by Ron Rash \n2007: The Bridge by Doug Marlette
