In the beginning of the book, Mahmoud found many ways to survive this is what he said he did, “Head down, hoodie up, eyes on the ground. The trick was to be invisible. Blend in. Disappear.” Mahmoud survive by blending in with his surroundings, he did this so he could be able to be with his family. Mahmoud did this to face the hardships of Syria and he never gave up. Additionally, one instance of turmoil was when the character Mahmoud and his family were forced to surrendered their newborn daughter to a random woman in order to save her. His family wanted to find her again and Ruthie (Joseph's sister) explained to Mahmoud, “And together we’ll find her, yes? I promise. We’ll find her and bring her home.” Ruthie told this to Mahmoud because her brother gave up his life for her to live out her life. Isabella and the ones she left Cuba with, were on the coast of Miami and determined to attain freedom. They said, “When were close enough in, the tide will take us the rest of the way. Or we’ll swim” Isabella and her new family were so close to their end goal they just kept going, even without an engine they faced the hardships and never gave up.
Overall, this was an amazing book, perhaps even one of my favorites. I found that I could not put it down. It was well written and it all transitioned smoothly. Alan Gratz has become my favorite author, since this is the third book I have read by him and absolutely loved. I would recommend this book to all my friends, family, and even strangers.

Follow Josef, a Jewish boy on his journey to escape from the Nazi's with his family and his plea to go and live in Cuba. What happens when they are not accepted and turned away? It's set in 1939, and This ends on quite the biggest cliffhanger known to man.
Set in 1994, watch Isabel flee from Cuba and its unfair leader, to go and find refuge in the United States. But to get there, they must cross part of a huge ocean, in a boat, with her bestfriend's not-so-welcoming family. Will they get there safely?
Then there's Muhamad (I don't think I've spelt that right!) A Syrian boy escaping from the huge city Aleppo, and over to Germany to keep away from the deadly attacks they have to face almost daily. Along with his family, he'll need to get across many countriess before he arrives in Germany. Just a few include Hungary, Austria, Turkey. Don't forget having to cross the Mediterranean in a black, inflatable liferaft with many others. With other places starting to turn refugees away, will his journey end in life, or death? (Set in 2015)
This is my favourite one by far.
Josef's story ends on a cliffhanger, but there is a kind of 'link' for lack of any other word, with Muhamad's story at the end, letting you know his fate.
I highly recommend this book. It's the most riveting story ever. Well worth the money. As a quick reader, it took me a good few days of total reading to finish.
A good age range to buy for is probably 9-14. Even older ones would probably still enjoy it lots.
Consider buying this riveting story, you will not regret!
