The Turtle of Michigan (paperback) Naomi Shihab Nye

The Turtle of Michigan is a deft and accessible novel that follows a young boy named Aref as he travels from Muscat, Oman, to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and adjusts to a new life and a new school in the United States. With themes of immigration, family, and what it means to belong, this is a wonderful pick for young middle grade readers and fans of Other Words for Home and Billy Miller Makes a Wish.
