Gratz, author of the wildly popular Prisoner B-3087, brings readers this timely, relevant novel about the powerful struggle of refugees. The book alternates between the stories of three kids: Josef, a Jewish boy living in 1930s Nazi Germany; Isabel, a girl seeking escape from Cuba in 1994; and Mahmoud, a Syrian boy fleeing his home in 2015. Each person’s story is unique and the obstacles they face are harrowing. Gratz masterfully creates compelling characters and takes readers on the unforgettable journeys right along with them. This book helps readers gain a deeper understanding of the refugee crisis through the fictional stories of Josef, Isabel, Mahmoud, and their families. I recommend this book to readers who like survival stories, and adventures, as well as learning about people from other parts of the world.
