Wars, political oppression, and natural disasters are just a few of the reasons that people are forced to leave their homes in search of a new future. This book sheds light on what it's like to be a young refugee, including what day-to-day life looks like as a displaced teen in places like Greece, Jordan, Darfur, and more. Case studies detail the specific circumstances that lead to displacement today, presenting a comprehensive, relatable, and empathetic look at one of the modern world's most pressing problems.
