This week I have been reading a graphic novel called My Name is Rez. We read this book because this term our class is focusing on refugees. My Name is Rez is about a girl who is a refugee and lives in a camp for nine years. Right before her 10th birthday, she and her family get relocated, but they can't choose where they go, however. Rez ends up living in New Zealand. When she goes to school she finds it hard because the only words she could say was my name is Rez. People bullied Rez for that and it was a while before Rez made friends and could speak English.
It turns out that this was a true story written by herself, Rez Gardi.
By Kate.
