Refugee by Alan Gratz
Josef, Isabel and Mahmoud all have the same thing in common, even though they are separated by as much as seventy-six years. They are all fleeing their homelands because of awful things that are happening there.
For Josef, his family is Jewish, and after his father is taken away and put in prison in Germany, Josef and his mother and little sister are worried they might never see him again. They are desperate to find a safe place, but is anyplace safe for them in the world?
