Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga

Jude loves where she lives – by the coast with her mother, father and older brother Issa. The only thing she doesn’t love is the smell of fish some days! She loves looking at the fancy hotels that the tourists come and stay at and dreams of someday staying in one herself, once she’s a famous actress. However, change in their country’s political system is coming, or so other hope, including her older brother Issa. But how can all the things that Jude loves stay the same, with so much unrest in her country? What will happen to all of her dreams?
