During the decade of her life, ha ha knows only Saigon: the thrill of the market, the joy of tradition, the warmth of her friend, and the beauty of her own papaya tree. But now the Vietnam War has arrived at her house. When Saigon collapsed, Ha and her family were forced to escape and they got on a hopeful ship. This is a girl traveling from one country to another, a life, a dream, a sadness, and a healing story to a country with a change.

Hint: The novel is called "inside upside down". Think of the first phrases "inside and outside" of this title. How do the phrases "inside and outside" have to do with the experience of general refugees evacuating and finding a house? How did the mother of Kazakhstan experience the concrete example of this general experience? Refugees are those who are forced to escape from home everyday in order to be afraid to stay in their home countries. When they escape, they may leave their families, friends, houses, work, and special fortune. Trying to escape from the house and find a new house sometimes makes us feel that their lives are completely changed. In Thanhha Lai 's novel "Inside Out & Back Again", Ha' s family live in the country of war. Ha's mother is raising four children in this dangerous country and it is increasingly difficult for her to meet their needs.

The book "Out Out and Back Again" escapes to "inside" because they can "return" by leaving the house and creating a new life by war. As a result of difficulty, I had to start from where I had nothing, and I had to rebuild my new life for myself and my family. Refugees have experienced the worst, but the history they produced continues to be praised for generations after their families.
