No Safe Place by Deborah Ellis

4.0

A fifteen-year-old orphan, Abdul is struggling to survive in war-torn Iraq. He fights his way onto a smuggler's boat and is joined by two teens with similar backgrounds, Cheslav, a strong-willed, quick-tempered boy from Russia, and Rosalia, a Romanian gypsy who is strong, but mistrustful of the others.

NO SAFE PLACE gives teens a glimpse of the suffering of their peers from other countries. This novel sheds light on the unfortunate circumstances of three children from very different backgrounds, allowing the reader to understand and question the unfairness of the iniquities that exist around the world.
