| | Synopsis
|
It is the year 2015 in Belgium, and the world
is in the midst of the Syrian Refugee Crisis.
Max, a thirteen-year-old American boy who
recently moved to Brussels, discovers that a
Syrian orphan named Ahmed is hiding in his
basement, and the two begin to build an
unlikely friendship. A compassionate story
about multiculturalism, war, acceptance, and
belonging, "Nowhere Boy" weaves this
historical fiction story with real-life parallels
that may complement the Grade 5-10
curriculum. Suitable as a read-aloud or in a
small-group novel study, this book can
inspire further research about the refugee
crisis, Islam, Syria, and the terrorist attacks,
or the two boys' unique perspectives can
segue into an analysis of point of view.
