This whole book is just about Kek learning new things and Kek has to live with his aunt who lives in Minnesota with her family. Kek had to come to America because all of his family has died it was just him and his mother who had to wait a long time to come to America. He has no idea what snow is or french fries are. Kek just came to America so he has no idea what anything is.
Home of the Brave is about a boy named Kek and he is from Africa. I think that Home of the Brave was a really good book.
Things like snow and American food are new, he barely knows the language, and, above all, he's anxious that they find his mother in a refugee camp and send her to be with him.I think anyone reading this book is bound to come away with a new appreciation for the courage it takes to emigrate to a new place, especially after to live with his aunt and cousin and tries to adjust to life in a new land.
