Co-written by a New York Times best-selling author, this moving
story of a Muslim boy's exile from war-torn Bosnia to the United States
offers a riveting refugee saga.
Kenan loves drawing and playing soccer with his friends. He wants to be
a famous athlete, hates it when his classmates trash his buck teeth by
calling him "Bugs Bunny," and fights with his big brother, who's too
busy and cool for him lately. Sometimes his parents drive him crazy, but
he feels loved and protected--until the war ruins everything.
Soon, Kenan's family is trapped in their home with little food or water,
surrounded by enemies. Ten months later, with help from friends and
strangers, they finally make it out of the country alive. But that's
only the beginning of their journey.
An action-packed page-turner with heart about a kid doing his best
during difficult times, World in Between celebrates the power of
community and resilience, hope and kindness.
