    <body><![CDATA[Enh. Fine, but light years from Paterson at her Great-Gilly-Hopkins best. Someone at her church suggested she write a book about the plight of an Albanian family living in Kosovo in 1998, and that's what this feels like: a book someone in your church suggested you write because they knew you were a writer. If you're in children's library services and feel the need to read the new Paterson out of a sense of duty (and/or interest &amp; excitement), I'm here to say: you don't, or you can at least bump it further down your list of must-read-nows. Good descriptions of life in refugee camps and coming to America knowing little English, but an abrupt, limp ending and nothing excellent. At best, on a par with a Deborah Ellis Afghanistan novel (those I usually give three stars).]]></body>
