Description
Book SynopsisThis debut middle-grade novel chronicles the harrowing journey taken by Sami and his family from privilege to poverty, across countries and continents, from a comfortable life in Damascus, via a smuggler's den in Turkey, to a prison in Manchester. A story of survival, of family, of bravery ... In a world where we are told to see refugees as the ‘other’, this story will remind readers that ‘they’ are also ‘us'.
Trade ReviewThank you for writing this... Boy, Everywhere challenges stereotypes and shows the reality of Syrians before the war. I loved the characters, they were very realistic and so convincing, the friendships so real. Such a good story – a brilliant novel.
