329 pages : illustrations, map ; 20 cm Twelve-year-old Omar and his brothers and sister were born and raised in the beautiful and bustling city of Bosra, Syria. Omar doesn't care about politics - all her wants is to grow up to become a successful businessman who will take the world by storm. But when his clever older brother, Musa, gets mixed up with some young political activists, everything changes. Before long, bombs are falling, people are dying, and Omar and his family have no choice but to flee their home with only what they can carry. But no matter how far they run, the shadow of war follows them - until they have no choice but to attempt the dangerous journey to escape their homeland altogether. But where do you go, when you cannot go home? -- adolescent Elizabeth Laird ; illustrated by Lucy Eldridge. a-sy--- Refugees Juvenile fiction Families Syria Juvenile fiction Children's stories Young adult fiction Syria History Civil War, 2011- Juvenile fiction PZ7.L1579 We 2017 823.92 9781509840496 1509840494 9781509840472 9781509840472 2017492692 DLC 170313 20240202142348.0 3076 eng
