The Nowhere Boy
This was a heart-wrenching story about a Syrian refugee boy who lost his whole family. Unfortunately, where he ends up in Brussels, there are terrorist attacks and the police are looking out for illegal immigrants, especially Muslims. Ahmed finds a hiding space in an American family's basement. But when Max, their son, finds out, Ahmed thinks he will be arrested taken to a camp for detainees. Max instead uses a local Holocaust rescue story as his inspiration and makes a courageous choice to help Ahmed, no matter the risk. (FIC MAR)
