Quotes
"If no one sees him, he thought, do I even exist?"
"You can't see borders, not from up here. Just land and sky and sea. It makes you wonder why we fight so hard to own the land. To draw lines on it and give it names."
Refugee is a historical fiction novel by Alan Gratz, published in 2017. The book tells the parallel stories of three young refugees from different time periods and locations: Josef, a Jewish boy fleeing Nazi Germany in 1938; Isabel, a Cuban girl escaping the Castro regime in 1994; and Mahmoud, a Syrian boy fleeing the Syrian Civil War in 2015. Despite the differences in their backgrounds and circumstances, the three protagonists share a common goal: to find safety, freedom, and a better life for themselves and their families.
Refugee explores themes such as courage, survival, and the power of hope in the face of adversity. As the characters navigate the dangers and uncertainties of their journeys, they also confront prejudice, discrimination, and the harsh realities of the world around them. The novel highlights the strength and resilience of the human spirit, as well as the importance of empathy and understanding in addressing the global refugee crisis.
Refugee has been widely praised for its gripping storytelling, well-developed characters, and timely exploration of contemporary issues. The book has received numerous awards and honors, and is an important and thought-provoking work of young adult literature.
