Gilson, Jamie. (1982). Hello my name is SCRAMBLED EGGS.
America. Aladdin.
This story takes place in 1985 at Zito`s house.
Quint was his best friend. He always ate breakfast over there. He always
carried a marble with him and they go to school and when they come home he had
to eat dinner over Zito`s house. So they go and have fun eating stuff. One day
a family from Vietnam and Harvey Trumble's. The Vietnamese family comes to
America because they are trying to stay away from the Vietnam War. There is a
kid Harvey's age in the family and his name is Tuan Nguyen. Harvey was so happy
to have someone of his own age living with him. When Tuan Nguyen and his family
move from Vietnam to America, Harvey Trumble knows that him and Tuan will be
best friend.
The cover is really nice, because it shows about
friendships. Although
it is one of those older books and held a bunch of reminders for me of what
life was like before the computer truly took over along with cell phones it
still has a message to teach us about refugees, learning about those who are
different from us and also allowing them to keep themselves as they are even
when we want to change them to "supposedly" make them more acceptable
to society.
Reading this book reminds me a book called Negeri 5 Menara.
This novel tells of friendship in a boarding school. with different characters,
color of skin and also their place of origin, it is a complement to the story
of their friendship
Anyway, this is an interesting novel
to read. This simple tale of belonging and family
will inspire readers of all ages. -Rahma Talifta-
