I have 12 year old grandchildren and have gotten interested in middle school fiction as a result. Marsh's earlier books are excellent, but this one may top the others in ways such as broad appeal and timeliness. She has a great story to tell, and another great true story within the story. If you liked Bradley's The War That Changed My LIfe (and who didn't) then you will almost surely like Nowhere Boy. I have read it and passed it along to my grandchildren, and am touting it to bookstores and libraries. It deserves to be a best seller!!!
This is a fast, action-paced read for any middle-schooler, and also for adults who read YA fiction in order to keep up on the world that we all live in, young people and oldsters alike.The book follows the real-life recent headlines of the 2015 refugee crisis that hit Europe, the November 13 Paris night club terrorist attack, the subsequent manhunt in Brussels for the perpetrators, and the later bombing of the Brussels airport. These events serve as backdrop as they affect the lives of ordinary residents of a normally quiet, upscale residential neighborhood in Brussels, including the two central characters-- an American 13 year-old boy and a 14 year-old Syrian refugee who has lost his entire family in the Syrian war and the subsequent escape to Europe. The American, Max, is filled with resentment for having been recently moved from his familiar and comfortable home in the US to a new culture with almost incomprehensible customs and is both immersed in a new school with instruction in a language he can't understand, and being intensely bullied by a gang of boys-- which he does understand! The Syrian boy finds himself stranded in a city he did not want to be in after having lost his last family member, his father, and giving his last money and cell phone to an unscrupulous smuggler.The Syrian, Ahmed, escapes from the smuggler during an intense rain, and, finding an unlocked rear door in a nearby townhouse, takes refuge by hiding in an unused wine cellar.The townhouse happens to be the one that Max has recently moved into.What follows is an adventure story that would thrill any boy, and any girl as well, with efforts to outsmart adults, develop an understanding of the prejudices and blind spots of the well-meaning, and not-so well-meaning people around them as they deal with supporting each other in the midst of the real refugee crisis and the palpable fear of terror attacks that are occurring all around them. Ahmed is in real danger.Several other classmates are eventually drawn into the story, and from the adults who surround them, the boys and their friends learn about the very real historical parallel that took place in the same residential block 73 years earlier. During WW II, a resident of their street courageously hid an orphan Jewish refugee from the Holocaust, only to be turned in by unnamed neighbors acting as Nazi collaborators. The plot of Nowhere Boy then cleverly re-creates some of the history of Albert Jonnart, the martyr who after his death gave his name to the very same street, and the boys and their friends work to save Ahmed from modern-day Belgians fearful of finding a probable young terrorist in their midst.The book and its plot give a vivid, cinematic or contemporary television feel to the story as it unfolds. Through it all, the reader gains an understanding about our modern day fears about "the other," and how those fears were present in an earlier time in history. At the same time, the reader learns how young people can learn to grow, gain self-confidence, self-respect, and come to understand, appreciate and befriend the seeming strangers who, though they may not be just like us, long for the same values of family, love and finding a place in the world.
I just finished reading Nowhere Boy, and it is fantastic. Its themes of kindness and helping others make the book stand out, two values I embrace. Kids from 9-12, and adults interested in refugees and world affairs, will enjoy this book.
Katherine Marsh's Nowhere Boy is a riveting read about Ahmed, a Syrian boy ripped away from his family as they flee the Syrian civil war. He washes up alone, hungry and frightened in Brussels where he takes a chance and hides in the basement of a house in one of the city's residential neighborhoods. He forges an unlikely friendship with the boy of the house and with the help of the kid underground manage to protect Ahmed and keep him warm and fed. Of course, that fragile safety doesn't last, but what does last is friendship and knowing what's right and wrong. A strong boy adventure story with a core that all kids will relate to, the fear of being lost and alone.
A wonderfully compelling read for many ages. It will clearly grab and grip late elementary/early middle schoolers who love realistic fiction or historical fiction or even mystery/action. But really it will captivate and move older kids and adults. I teach high school and a few years ago I showed the Frontline documentary Children of Aleppo. They were riveted and thirsted to know more about all aspects- life in war-torn Syria, the path to Europe, life in Europe for refugees. This book does that in such vivid, accessible detail and with swift action that is totally engrossing.
Katherine Marsh has written a touching story, inspired by true events, that is both riveting and applicable for our time. She paints a picture both of life for an expat child in Brussels (Max) and also for a refugee entering as an unaccompanied minor (Ahmed). You'll quickly turn the pages to discover what will happen to these characters, but you'll also be challenged to examine possible stereotypes or prejudices that collide with reality in the character of Ahmed. A must-read!!
Although this is YA fiction, I really enjoyed it --I couldn't put it down and finished it in four days. I found gripping the story of the young refugee from Syria, who gets separated from his family--are presumed dead, winds up in the basement of an American expat family living in Brussels and strikes up an unexpected friendship with the young teenager in the house. The author draws a compelling portrait of life in Brussels at a fraught time --in the midst of terrorist attacks in Europe, and takes on adult themes of alienation and the anti-immigrant fervor gripping places like Brussels, while telling a great story of friendship and courage that any teenager can relate to.
A marvelous story of social consciousness, human capacity, courage in the face of societal fear and widespread ignorance and prejudice. It is a story of willingness to face the consequences of behavior dictated by love and justice countering opposition by authorities. In brief, it is a story of countertribalism, much needed today.
