After Tomorrow by Gillian Cross

4.0

This is an excellent book, combining both dystopia and what it is like to be a refugee. However, [a:Gillian Cross|40051|Gillian Cross|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1241510299p2/40051.jpg] has been very clever in that the people who are forced to flee their country are British children, forced out by a banking crisis which has collapsed all the major banks and causing a food and fuel crisis. The family flees to France, where they live and try to survive in a refugee camp. This brilliantly brings to life that refugees are just like us, they can be us under different and very believable circumstances, and is great for helping students to understand just what being a refugee entails. A great read!
