With three stories running parallel, spanning several decades and oceans apart, all tied in together with the promise of tomorrow, Refugee by Alan Gratz is a thought-provoking must-read. Three children caught in the middle of unimaginable violence, are forced to leave all they had ever known and venture on into the unknown. This book covers broad themes, from violence, to power, and an unknown future. Covid-19 has shaken up our world and left our future in doubt. This story encapsulates all of the feelings and emotions that we face as a society today in one eye-opening tale. All in all, I loved how Alan Gratz manages to create these characters with diverse personalities, and yet all seem so familiar.

His magic with words brings the story to life. Every reader will draw something new out of every twist and turn the book takes. Refugee by Alan Gratz has tantalized my reading tastebuds and I can’t wait to read the sequel.
If you stayed invisible here, did everything you were supposed to and never made waves, you would disappear from the eyes and minds of all the good people out there who could help you get your life back. It was better to be visible. To stand up. To stand out.
