Nowhere Boy by Katherine Marsh

 A must for all school libraries.  The plight of the refugees leaving deadly Syria, their homes and their lives to find a safe place to call for a new home, is part of this book.  Ahmed is in the country illegally.  He lost so much when he lost his family under two separate events. Max, has his problems too but he also recognizes that his new friend Ahmed has it real problems.  Again this is a good read.  

Escape from Aleppo by N. H. Senzai

The writing is fine.  It's an important book to have students read to understand why people must leave their country and how they must survive.  I'm adding this to my high school library.

Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga

Imagine having to flee the land that you grew up so you can live.  What is it like to move to a new country?  To learn new ways.  In America, it is sad that some people, even leaders of politics are saying Go back from where you came from.  This book is an opportunity for all of us to understand and appreciate what it must be like to wish you could go back but realize that it could be a death sentence.  It's a good book and fine for any school library.
