The moving stories of three children on the run
A current children's novel that is as exciting as it is gripping


Refugee describes the lives of Josef, Isabel and Mahmoud. They are separated by time and space, but nevertheless have much in common. Due to the impending danger in their countries of origin, each of them is forced to flee.
Josef lives in Germany in the 1930s, where he is no longer safe as a Jewish boy. He and his family leave by ship to the other side of the world.
Isabel's story takes place in 1994, in the very turbulent Cuba. She and her family hope to find safety and freedom in America, where they sail on a raft.
Mahmoud comes from Syria, where violence and destruction prevailed in 2015. This is the reason for his family and himself to move towards Europe.
All three are forced to leave everything familiar behind in their search for a better future.
