Escape from Aleppo by N.H. Senzai

4.0

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.
