Sinopsis

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.
