Refugee

The moving stories of three children on the run
A contemporary youth novel that is as exciting as it is moving


Refugee chronicles the lives of Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud. They are separated by time and space, yet have much in common. Due to the looming danger in their countries of origin, each of them is forced to flee.
Josef lives in Germany in the 1930s, where, as a Jewish boy, he is no longer safe. He and his family embark for the other side of the world.
Isabel's story takes place in 1994, in a turbulent Cuba. She and her family hope to find safety and freedom in America, where they sail on a raft.
Mahmoud comes from Syria, where violence and destruction reigned supreme in 2015. This is the reason for his family and himself to move towards Europe.
All three of them are forced to leave everything familiar behind in their search for a better future.
