"The Ship to Nowhere" is the true story about the ship "The Exodus 1947" and its passengers trials as they tried to find a home in Palestine after the end of WWII. The book centers on very real people including Rachel Fletcher and her family who along with 4,500 other Jewish refugees were treated very inhumanely for simply wanting a land to call their own and a place where they did not have to fear being Jewish. The book is well researched and an eye opening read that I think should be in every public library and every school library as well. It is horrifying to think of what these people including very young children had to go through even after the Holocaust. The only thing I would recommend is that the book would probably come across better in paperback rather than Kindle (I keep trying to change the edition I read but Goodreads won't let me). I found the photos very small and the descriptions of the photos and the story a bit mashed together for the ebook edition and a bit confusing. Otherwise, it is a very powerful book for young people and a story we should not forget. I received a copy of this book from Netgalley for free in exchange for an honest review. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The Ship to Nowhere is perfect for Middle School students. The author uses clear and crisp prose to describe the stories and plight of the refugees. The book is physically beautiful and has pictures of Ruth and her family, the Exodus 147, and important documents and pictures from that journey that only enhances the realism of the story. Due to Ms Arato's vivid storytelling I could smell the horrible smells on the boat, the waves of the roiling sea and and feel the steadfast commitment of these determined refugees to live in a Jewish homeland. She never infantalizes her students and makes it easy for them to imagine themselves inside the story and to connect it to their lives. Especially compelling is that given our national debate on immigration and refugees it is a wonderful catalyst to help students explore the impact on themselves, their families and communities. One of my favorite middle school non-fiction books of the year. ( )
