A Boy From Baghdad

I like how I learned about the experiences of kids my age during the early years of the state of Israel. This was a great story!

This story is about a boy who was forced to leave his home because it was getting too dangerous for Jews. His biggest worry is that he’ll not be able to train in swimming anymore because his dream is to be an Olympian.

this book was really good and showed the different struggles Israel had in the early years.

This book was so engrossing. I loved it! It was very exciting and sad when he and his family were forced to leave his only home, the city Baghdad, and the place he loved with his beloved river Tigres.

I love how competitive and original Salman (the main character) is. A Boy from Bahgdad is a compelling read and I greatly enjoyed it. Would recommend!
