Little Bee
by Chris Cleave
reviewed by Hannah Scott, class of 2017
When Little Bee is finally released from the horrible detention center in London, England after seeking asylum from her home country, Nigeria, which is at war over oil. She reaches out to the only people she knows, whom she met on a fateful day on a Nigerian beach. Upon arriving at their home, she is thrown into the scandalous and insecure world of Sarah O'Rourke. Chris Cleave expertly goes back in time to describe Little Bee’s heart-warming story and create a moving tale by peeling it back layer by layer. Little Bee is an emotional roller coaster of a book about love, pain, and moving on that challenges the reader’s idea of what is wrong and what is right. Little Bee is definitely one of my favorite books, despite its open-ended ending. If you liked The Help, you'll love this book!
