A Land Of Permanent Goodbyes- By Atia Abawi

Hey guys!! I finally got time to blog after school ended except I felt way too lazy to even blog and now, school is starting two days from now so I decided to give some time to blog now.I read five books this summer and all of them were great and were all released this year one of which was called "A Land of Permanent Goodbyes" by Atia Abawi.

Image result for a land of permanent goodbyesTo begin, I will start by introducing Atia Abawi. Atia  Abawi is an author and journalist who is based off the middle east. She worked for NBC News and CNN as a foreign correspondent formerly, before she became an author. Also, Atia Abawi was born in West Germany to Afghan parents who had fled Afghanistan during a war and was raised in the U.S, where she had done all her education and graduated out of Virginia Tech. As mentioned earlier, Atia Abawi is based off the middle east, so most of her books take place in the middle east such as the book I am writing a blog about now, and another book called "The Secret Sky: A Novel Of Forbidden Love In Afghanistan". She today resides in Israel, married to her husband who is Fox News foreign correspondent Connor Powell and her two sons.

Now, about the book. A Land of Permanent Goodbyes is about a boy named Tareq, who lives happily with his family in a town in Syria. Everything is going perfectly fine until bombs strike and the Daesh attack the town in which Tareq lives. During the attack, Tareq loses his mother, his grandmother, and his younger sister, and his younger brother. The only people who Tareq has are his father and his other younger sister and so Tareq, with his only family left, goes over to his cousin's house to stay for temporary time. However, after Tareq is at his cousin's house, his cousin has to evacuate the house and so Tareq goes to Turkey as a refugee along with his younger sister and cousin and his father. And from there, Tareq and his people go from country to country as refugees for the next several months, trying their full best to prevent themselves from being killed and staying safe.

A Land of Permanent Goodbyes is a great book to read and will inspire you to stay strong and caring. I really do recommend reading this book.

Linda Sue park is also the Newbery Medalist for the book A Single Shard. This is the first time I have read one of her books and according to my opinion about her she makes a great author. Linda Sue Park has written  picture book texts and poetry and genres of fiction, contemporary, and historical books as she is a children's book author. She has worked in a few occupations before she became a full time writer. She has worked as a journalist, copywriter, and as an  English teacher as a second language for students.

A Long Walk To Water takes place in Africa, specifically the countries of Sudan, Ethiopia, and Kenya. There are 2 main characters...
