REVIEW:

 DISCOVERING EUROPE IN THE TWELFTH GRADE

Insights of a Teenager Transformed by Being an Exchange Student

 In the book A Year Abroad, Christine M.A. Kraemer, a Christian American girl takes her experiences as a twelfth grade exchange student in Europe and expounds on them in this engagingly written diary-style story. 

 A Year Abroad is a non-fiction book illustrating the journey she experienced while dealing with intercultural encounters.  By sharing the highs and lows of what it is like being able to travel so far away from home, Christy endears herself to her readers.

 Read Christy’s account of her experiences and discover for yourself how she dealt with loved ones dying on one hand, and finding love ‘across the globe’ on the other hand.  Learn about the reactions she received in Europe toward her Christian faith while you read her poetry and view photographs that she took while away from home.  Highlighted by remarkably concise dates of authorship and chapters arranged as months of the year and scenes titled for each period of time, readers may target certain areas of interest and be taken directly to that point of reference.  This is a thorough and comprehensive guide to intercultural adjustments without becoming a “how to” book.  Travelers of all ages will find the book to be an essential resource.  A Year Abroad is a great book choice for all those who enjoy historical, adventure, romance, drama, and memoir genres.
