Boy Overboard by Morris Gleitzman

3.0

'Boy Overboard' tells the story of Jamal and his family who are fleeing from persecution in Afghanistan. The reader follows their perilous journey as they face refugee camps, pirates and storms while attempting to reach Australia. The story is told through Jamal's eyes, often resulting in humour and surprising brevity. As important now as it was when first written.
