Bloomsbury presents Refugee Boy by Benjamin Zephaniah, read by Ben Bailey Smith.
'Playful, obstinate and courageously humorous ... hilarious and later heartbreaking' Guardian
'Sweet, funny, highly inventive' Yorkshire Post
The personal, funny and poignant tale of a young refugee, from acclaimed storyteller Benjamin Zephaniah
Acclaimed performance poet and novelist Benjamin Zephaniah's honest, wry and poignant story of a young refugee left in London is of even more power and pertinence today than when it was first published.
Life is not safe for Alem. His father is Ethopian, his mother Eritrean. Their countries are at war, and Alem is welcome in neither place.
So Alem is excited to spend a holiday in London with his father – until he wakes up to find him gone. What seems like a betrayal is in fact an act of love, but now Alem is alone in a strange country, and he must forge his own path...

📚Honest Thoughts💭📚
It’s the second or third time I read this book and every time I listen to Alem’s story I feel compelled not to forget about him and all those who are fleeing their country for so many different reasons.
They don’t want a free ride, they want to live in peace and above all the want to be treated as human beings. Let’s not forget about it.
To all those out there, don’t loose hope.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Eternal struggle for peace and freedom
