Our young protagonist must find her way from Aleppo to the Turkish border after being left behind by her family who thought she was dead. Along the way she meets an interesting cast of characters and the reader gets an idea of the different factions vying for control of that city.

A little bit of a slow start, but this turns into a tense nail-biter that also offers a glimpse into what life was like for refugees trying to flee Syria into Turkey during wartime. Excellent middle school read.

I really enjoyed this book about a girl trying to escape from Syria. I liked NH Senzai's other book Shooting Kabul but this is even better. Lots of action and drama. I think my students will really like it. A lot read Refugee and this book is kinda similar. Action packed but my only concern is that there is a lot of foreign terms and concepts that might be difficult to understand.

I wanna read this.
I usually never give ratings before reading. But how the hell does this have such a bad rating when it's not even out? There's zero reasons for this 🙄

Escape from Aleppo follows Nadia, a once ordinary and materialistic teenage girl whose life changes forever in 2010 when a bombing in Tunisia sparks a revolution and civil unrest around the Middle East. Eventually this revolution reaches Syria and causes Nadia’s family to flee the only home she has ever known. The story shifts between 2010, 2011, 2012, and Nadia’s present in 2013, which can be confusing at times, but ultimately gave me a better understanding of how the situation in Syria deteriorated so quickly and how Nadia’s family was impacted by this. Overall, a very important book which sheds light on current events and the plight of Syrian refugees.
