Not that the book is about adoptions, but that this book, for this age level, actually showcases the seedy practices in many international adoptions. I, as an adoptee, never knew my biological parents. Jaden knew, and sort of remembers his biological mother. What he feels is what every adopted child feels at some point in their lives; "Why did my biological parent(s) not love me enough to keep me?" As he comes to terms with his own feelings, he then accompanies his parents as they embark on a trip to adopt another child, which all children who are older probably feel, "Am I not good enough? Is that why they need another one?" So his inner thoughts are real and very poignant. As long as the focus of this book is not on the fact that international adoptions can be horrendous (which the ones in this book, while not the worst I've encountered, are still shady), then I would recommend this book as one to read in an elementary school classroom as a way to showcase how a child (adopted or not) feels when a new family member is brought into the mix. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 14, 2021* This book is such an amazing price of work! I can relate to jaden in so many ways. The author did a great job of describing how jaden Felt. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Book on Adoption -- As Seen from the Child's Perspective *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 21, 2016* This is an outstanding book. My sons (ages 8 and 5) are adopted, and my older one is starting to wonder about his story. He's known he was adopted since birth, but now that it's become an interesting topic for him, he loved this book and it really helped us open up some important conversations. I would suggest the parent read the book first (I didn't) so he or she is prepared for the discussions this book makes possible. However, it's the first book about adoption that my son had ever shown an interest in, and it gave us a chance to talk about some things that had clearly been plaguing him. If you're an adoptive parent, by all means, buy this book, read it, and decide when is the right time to have your child read it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/25511786-half-a-world-away](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/25511786-half-a-world-away) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
