Boy, Everywhere by A M Dassu
Chronicles the harrowing journey taken by Sami and his family from privilege to poverty, across countries and continents, from a comfortable life in Damascus to a prison in Manchester. A story of survival, of family, of bravery ... In a world where we are told to see refugees as the 'other', this story will remind readers that 'they' are also 'us'.
Thank you for writing this.. Boy, Everywhere challenges stereotypes and shows the reality of Syrians before the war. I loved the characters, they were very realistic and so convincing, the friendships so real. Such a good story – a brilliant novel.
-- Nadine KaadanGood books leave you a little bit changed. Boy, Everywhere made me want to change the world. Everyone should read this book.
