Refugee

I read this for my son's 5th grade book club. I didn't expect much from a YA novel about refugees, but it was a gorgeous book about courage and love in the face of cruelty and fear. It was beautifully written and the characters were lovingly crafted. Please give this book to kids in your life, especially kids who live a comfortable life with few worries. We need our future leaders to have more empathy than our current ones.
