Refugee Boy By Benjamin Zephaniah

I read  the book refugee boy by Benjamin Zephaniah. So far it's really good. I was in a rush to find a book and this was the first book I saw. By the cover of this book, i didn't think that I would like the book. I thought it would be boring and something that I wouldn't be able to relate to. But now that I have started to read the book, I have been proven wrong. So far, Refugee Boy is a great book.

This book is about a bot named Alem, and he doesn't have a country. His parents are both from different countries which are at war with each other. Since these two places are at war, neither country is accepting enough to let Alem's family stay in that country. Alem's father leaves him alone in england to fend for himself. This starts the process of the London Refugee Council to help Alem find a foster family, friends, and a school. After a while in england Alem decides that he likes it  there and he also receives legal permission to stay in england. This book is heart touching to me. At first it was kind of sad, but that's what urged me on to keep reading. Even though this isnt a book about drama, or chick-flicks, and even though it wasnt something that I wold've recommended at first, this really is a great book and i recommend it to anyone to read! It's a book that really makes people realize what they have and to be thankful for what they have.
