A Dangerous Crossing

A Dangerous Crossing
A Dangerous Crossing

Harrowing journey of a Syrian boy's survival.

"A Dangerous Crossing" might just be the book you didn't know you needed to read. It's a powerful narrative that plunges you into the heart-wrenching realities faced by child refugees. Ghalib's story is not only a quest for safety but a humanizing tale that shines a light on the resilience and challenges of those caught in crises. It's an eye-opener which is likely to leave a lasting impact, urging a deeper understanding and empathy towards the refugee experience.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Ghalib doesn't want to leave his home in Syria. But the city has become too dangerous, and his family has no choice but to flee. Together they make their way through Syria to the Turkish border, where Ghalib gets separated from his family. Stricken with grief and fear, fighting cold, pain and hunger, he manages to make it to a refugee camp in Turkey. Ghalib is safe for now, but life in a refugee camp is wretched and hopeless, and this boy's journey in search of safety is far from over. Based on true accounts and real Syrian children, A Dangerous Crossing is the story of one boy's search for refuge.
