I've been reading this exciting book, and I'm dying to tell you about it. The book I spend everyday wishing I could read on and on is called Goodbye, Vietnam by Gloria Whelan. There is a very poor village in Vietnam. In the village there was a family. Which included Mai (oldest), Anh (middle), Thant (youngest), Mom, Dad, and the grandma. With the government threatening to take away Dad and the grandma, Mai's parents decided to flee Vietnam. So with Mai's dad skillful mind he got a boat fixed for many people to flee to freedom. Then it took nights and days until one day..........I'm not a spoil the book so if you want to find out what happens read the book yourself.
I would recommend this book to people who like adventurous stories, and are people who are always like "Must keep reading" until midnight. Goodbye, Vietnam definitely has it's ups and downs but it's a great book. I had doubted the book in the first place but when I got to the voyage it was like I couldn't put the book down, but I had to because I didn't want to get ahead of my group. But, really don't doubt a book, I think this book is like a cream puff. The outside tastes bland, but once you get into the middle you can't put the book/cream puff down. Together they taste incredible. But like cream puffs not everyone likes Goodbye, Vietnam, but still you never know unless you try (that kind of rhymed).
