Beschreibung

The   story of a refugee: one child's journey stands for the journeys of many and   the hopes of even more
Shif is just an   ordinary boy who likes chess, maths and racing his best friend home from   school. But one day, soldiers with guns come to his door - and he knows that   he is no longer safe.
Shif is forced to leave his mother   and little sister, and embark on a dangerous journey; a journey through   imprisonment and escape, new lands and strange voices, and a perilous   crossing by land and sea. He will encounter cruelty and kindness; he will   become separated from the people he loves.
Boy   87 is a gripping, uplifting tale of one boy's struggle for survival;   it echoes the story of young people all over the world   today.
Ele Fountain worked as   an Editor in children's publishing, where she was responsible for launching   and nurturing the careers of many prize-winning and best-selling authors   including Angie Sage, Philip Reeve and Sarah Crossan. She lived in Addis   Ababa for several years, where she was inspired to write Boy   87, her debut novel. Ele now lives in what she describes as a 'not   quite falling down house' in Hampshire with her husband and two young   daughters.

Stole a pig and away he run; 
The pig was eat and Tom was beat 
And Tom ran crying down the street." Why did Tom steal that pig? Was he a bad boy? Not according to the story behind this rhyme. Tom was the only son of a good for nothing man who could only play the pipes and that very badly. Little Tom was forced to steal food for his father and himself as they travelled around the country. Was he beaten? oh yes, he was and very soundly by the owner of the little pig that he stole. But he learned his lesson and became a good citizen from then on. Listen to this tale and get a chuckle now and then because it is very droll.
