Refugee - 3 storys in one book

by Alan Gratz

Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud are three twelve-year-olds who face extraordinary challenges as refugees. Josef, a Jewish boy from Germany, displays bravery and maturity beyond his years, but the trauma of the Holocaust forces him to grow up too quickly. Isabel, a Cuban girl, is resourceful and determined, using her musical talent to cope with hardship and find hope. Mahmoud, a Syrian boy, learns the value of visibility and takes action to save his family, despite the dangers of being seen. These three young protagonists embody the resilience and courage of refugee children around the world.
