The characters are Aya the main character, Aya&#8217;s mum and Aya&#8217;s little brother Moosa! It all started with an eleven-year-old girl named Aya having to flee her home in Syria with her family.<\/p>\n<p>You might enjoy the book from how relatable it is to you or how interesting and spreads awareness for refugees! Personally, I enjoy how interesting it is and how it&#8217;s based on real things that could be happening in other people&#8217;s lives. As it has war, injuries and death people (people as teachers and parents) might not want a young child reading it, personally I recommend it for either nine or ten plus! Parts of the book were a bit upsetting knowing that Aya knows she\u2019ll never see her friend&#8217;s little sister, and her mum and her think they\u2019ll never see Aya&#8217;s dad again, this made me sad for Aya and her mum even though it&#8217;s just a book.<\/p>\n<p>There was nothing I really disliked about the writing except from when the author wrote a bit too much about the exact same thing. I think Catherine Bruton did a fantastic job at writing this, not only making an awesome book she is spreading awareness about the refugees and the wars.<\/p>\n<p>My Favorite quote from the book is \u201cA mother&#8217;s fountain of tears flows forever\u201d-Mrs. Massoud. Compared to all the books I&#8217;ve read this is one of my favorites!<\/p>\n<p>By Scarlett P6<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/719f0lRjQyL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\" alt=\"No Ballet Shoes in Syria : Catherine Bruton: Amazon.co.uk: Books\" width=\"415\" height=\"637\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book is written by Catherine Bruton.
