  1. Hi, My name is the work,
  2. and today I'm going to talk about the order book I have listened to the last weeks.
  3. This is what the book is about. An 11 year old girl named Isabel Fernandez.
  4. She comes from Havana, a little place just outside Cuba,
  5. and they've stayed with her family and her friends.
  6. Her parents are called Giraldo and Teresa.
  7. She also had a has a grandfather named Mariana.
  8. But he's a
  9. little short for Pablito, which means grandpa in English,
  10. her grandmother grandmother round on a fleet on its way to the north
  11. when Isabel was only two years old.
  12. Her neighbour and her best friend is called even
  13. and are a part of the Castro family.
  14. After the fall of Soviet Russian in 1989 Cuba's
  15. economy collapsed since Russia was no longer buying sugar from them.
  16. This led to people losing their jobs and wanting to leave Cuba.
  17. Isabel's father has already already tried to leave the country while using the sea,
  18. but he fell and got arrested by the police
  19. one day.
  20. One day, while Isabelle Little and Giraldo were in the city, there was chaos.
  21. There were people stealing things from the shops on the street,
  22. and there were people fighting with the police.
  23. Isabel's father managed to get into an argument with a policeman,
  24. was almost arrested,
  25. the policeman said, Who? He will find Giraldo and arrest him for good.
  26. That was when Gerrard lo we lost. He had to leave Cuba now.
  27. Later that day, while arguing with his family, there was a news from the president.
  28. He said, Not everyone who wants to leave Cuba can leave now.
  29. So then the family of Fernandez and Castillo went to get
  30. rid in a small boat that even on his father,
  31. has made
  32. only way to the United States. They accounted money problems.
  33. They were almost hit by a larger ship. They came into a storm.
  34. The storm had gotten them on the wrong course. So they had to. So they had.
  35. So they had come to the Bahamas instead of the USA.
  36. Uh, and even was killed by a shark. They finally come to the United States.
  37. Uh, but we're out.
  38. Yeah, least one Yvonne. And with its first new little brother.
  39. The reason why Isabelle and her family want to leave Cuba
  40. is because they are not feeling well in their home country.
  41. They do not.
  42. They do not have enough money and food is about
  43. and even are not allowed to go to school.
  44. There are not any good jobs.
  45. They may be sent to prison for trying to leave the country.
  46. They are simply not doing well in their own country own country.
  47. I think they want to stay in the USA because
  48. he's a better job upstairs so they can make money.
  49. It's better.
  50. It's money, good school for Isabelle and Yvonne so they can get an education.
  51. It's also safer in USA done in Cuba
  52. and it's more food and it's just a bad run it
  53. It's better economy, economy in the US
  54. I think it's I think this was a very great storey because
  55. it shows us in or a I wonderful We have it,
  56. I think which, uh
  57. I think we should appreciate what we actually have and not think
  58. about what we do not have because there are people out there.
  59. We do not have a home or enough food live.
  60. I think there's also were fun and exciting book.
  61. I think it's I think it's very regret that
  62. we are taking in refugees from from other countries.
  63. That was my podcast about the audiobook refugee. Thanks for listening. Goodbye.
  64. Mm.
