A tour de force from acclaimed author Alan Gratz (Prisoner B-3087), this timely -- and timeless -- novel tells the powerful story of three different children seeking refuge.

A New York Times bestseller!

JOSEF is a Jewish boy living in 1930s Nazi Germany. With the threat of concentration camps looming, he and his family board a ship bound for the other side of the world...

ISABEL is a Cuban girl in 1994. With riots and unrest plaguing her country, she and her family set out on a raft, hoping to find safety in America...

MAHMOUD is a Syrian boy in 2015. With his homeland torn apart by violence and destruction, he and his family begin a long trek toward Europe...

All three kids go on harrowing journeys in search of refuge. All will face unimaginable dangers -- from drownings to bombings to betrayals. But there is always the hope of tomorrow. And although Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud are separated by continents and decades, shocking connections will tie their stories together in the end.This action-packed novel tackles topics both timely and timeless: courage, survival, and the quest for home.

Since 2015 I have worked for years in refugee camps in Germany, and through a non-profit organization (Their Story Is Our Story) I have interviewed hundreds of refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. Alan Gratz has accurately captured the essence of the Syrian refugee story in amazing detail. I love the way Gratz has woven the stories of refugees from different countries and political eras together, connecting these courageous young people along their hopes, dreams, and broken edges.

Well researched and beautifully portrayed
