Muhammad Najem, War Reporter: How One Boy Put the Spotlight on Syria by Nora Neus, Muhammad Najem, Julie Robine
5.0
I started to read this, and couldn’t put it down. This is the story of a teen, living in the thick of the war in Syria, posting social media accounts of the destruction being done around him, hoping that someone out in the English speaking world would discover him, which they did at long last.
We follow him from the beginning of the bombing, until he finally relocates in Turkey, and does long distance reporting with the help of friends left behind.
This book was written with the help of the CNN reporter who found his story, online, and first wrote about him, to spread the word about his reporting.
Very stark, very honest, very sad but oh, so important to tell the story.
Beautifully illustrated, with all the destruction in full view, as well as the heartache.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
