Amir has faced more challenges than any teenager should ever have to, all in the simple quest for survival. And he's finding out that life in his new country is bringing a whole new set of challenges...
When war brings horror and devastation to Amir's homeland, he is forced to undertake a gruelling and treacherous journey to safety, alone. Along with his new friend Mo, another young unaccompanied refugee, he is rebuilding his life, while dealing with the events of his past. At his new school, Amir decides to enter a prestigious public speaking competition to help others understand what he's been through. But can Amir find his voice and reclaim his story?
An inspiring tale of resilience, survival and family from award-winning author Sita Brahmachari, perfect for less-confident readers.
