Refugee; Assigned Seating

Adapted by: Eric Coble Based on the Book by: Alan Gratz Recommended for 6th-10th Grade

Josef is a Jewish boy in 1930s Nazi Germany. Isabel is a Cuban girl in Castro’s communist Cuba in 1994. Mahmoud is a Syrian boy in 2015. All three are searching for the same thing; home. And although these children are separated by continents and decades, surprising connections will tie their stories together in the end. This provocative fast-paced adventure of three brave children opens a new door to understanding the life of a refugee and the price one is willing to pay to find home.
