Welcome to Nowhere

Welcome to Nowhere is a powerful and beautifully written story about the life of one family caught up in civil war by the award-winning author Elizabeth Laird. Twelve-year-old Omar and his brothers and sisters were born and raised in the beautiful and bustling city of Bosra, Syria. Omar doesn't care about politics - all he wants is to grow up to become a successful businessman who will take the world by storm. But when his clever older brother, Musa, gets mixed up with some young political activists, everything changes . . . Before long, bombs are falling, people are dying, and Omar and his family have no choice but to flee their home with only what they can carry. Yet no matter how far they run, the shadow of war follows them - until they have no other choice than to attempt the dangerous journey to escape their homeland altogether. But where do you go when you can't go home?
Reviews
I liked this book because it really described a refugees life from when they were in there home city to when there in the refugee camp . The book welcome to nowhere is fiction and my favourite character is Emaan because most girls in Syria when they become eighteen or even you never there parents marry them of to some man and there schooling is stopped forever where as Emaan doesn't want to get married she wants to become a teacher and that's why she is my favourite character because really admant about it even though it is not the normal on Syria.
