Everything is changing for ten-year-old Gabrielle. She had to leave her friends and family back in Haiti. And now she lives in America with relatives she hardly knows. She’s having a hard time learning English, someone at school is bullying her, and she can’t get rid of her accent. One fateful night she meets a powerful witch who offers her three slices of mango; each will grant her a wish.
Gabrielle knows better than to trust a witch, but she can’t resist. With these wishes, she’ll be able to make friends and fit in. But magic always comes with a price and before long Gabrielle is fighting to save everything that’s important to her.
The Year I Flew Away is a magical and empowering story about finding your place while remaining true to yourself.
