Refugee by Alan Gratz

burlesot's review against another edition

4.0

A masterful blend of history and present-day struggles of those seeking refuge. This story poignantly touches on the human story of those often lost to history books and news reports.

We often examine events of the past and are sure that, in times of moral dilemma, we would have done the right thing if we'd been alive then. This book is so important because it asks the reader to take the moral certainty she feels towards past events and examine if she has the same certainty about present events.
