Description

The phenomenon of desperate refugees risking their lives to succeed in safety isn’t new. For hundreds of years, people have left in the back of circle of relatives, friends, and all they know in hope of a higher life. This book presents five true stories about young people who lived through the harrowing experience of setting sail on the lookout for asylum: Ruth and her circle of relatives board the St. Louis to escape Nazism; Phu sets out on my own from war-torn Vietnam; José tries to succeed in the U.S. from Cuba; Najeeba flees Afghanistan and the Taliban; Mohamed, an orphan, runs from his village on the Ivory Coast. Aimed at middle grade students, Stormy Seas combines a latest collage-based design, sidebars, fact boxes, timeline and further reading to produce a book that may be ideal for both reading and research. Readers will gain new insights into a situation that has repeatedly been making the headlines.
