Khosrou (AKA Daniel) is telling his story in a 7th grade classroom in Edmond, Oklahoma. He grew up in Iran until he was 8 and then his mother took he and his sister to escape from death for being a Christian. His father stayed behind. As he tells his story, it is very metaphorical and disjointed. As I read I really wanted to quit, but I kept going. It did get more fluid and better as it continued, but I think for middle school students they will not have the stick-to-it-ness to keep with it.
