Co-written by a New York Times best-selling author, this moving account of a Muslim boy’s refugee journey from war-torn Bosnia to the U.S. celebrates tolerance and kindness while delivering a riveting read.
Fifth-grader Kenan loves drawing and playing soccer with his friends. He wants to be a famous athlete, hates it when his classmates call him “Bugs Bunny,” and looks up to his big brother, who hasn’t had much time for him lately. Sometimes his family drives him crazy, but he loves them. His worries are small . . . until war arrives on his doorstep.
Soon, Kenan's family find themselves trapped in their home with dwindling supplies. Ten months later, with help from friends and strangers, they finally make it out of the country alive. But that's only the beginning of their journey.
Perfect for fans of Escape from Aleppo and The Night Diary, Losing Home is an action-packed page-turner with heart: a story about a kid doing his best during difficult times that celebrates the power of community and human resilience.
