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.

We listened to this book on our road trip this past summer. My preteens and I loved the book. The stories are interesting and the subject is so current in today’s world.

Fabulous story

A wonderfully written fictional story that weaves together actual experiences of real refugees. This is the first audio book I have ever listened to. That said I found the narration to be exceptional by those who read it.

Truth of refugee experience wonderfully told

Transported to scenes of struggle and danger along the route to home and safety for so many who traipse the world looking for peace. Heartbreaking for us who live luxuriously and do little to help.
