'Refugee Boy' Benjamin Zephaniah by Amy Collier 9FR



The book I am reviewing is Refugee Boy by Benjamin Zephaniah. It is about a father and son who have to escape their country because of riots and war, their country is called Ethiopia.

The son called Alam who is fourteen years old gets separated from his father and gets put into care.  Around halfway in the book alam receives a letter from his father explaining that his mother has unfortunately been killed, alam is in distraught by the news in the letter but soon after his father comes and joins him in England. Once his father joins him in England everything starts looking bright for alam and his father’s future. Towards the end of the book his father gets shot and killed and alam is left on his own.

I recommend this book because it is very interesting and shows a clear view what people have to do to escape their country.
