Refugee Free Audiobook Download by Alan Gratz


In Alan Gratz's novel Refugee, a boy who has always longed to leave the crowded refugee camp in Lebanon for America undergoes a harrowing journey first with his parents, and then without them. It is not just the struggle of refugees fleeing their homeland, but also the struggles of children struggling to understand what it means to be American and come into their own as individuals.

The most compelling moments are at the beginning. The two narrators, Michael and Assaf, both have a unique voice that is powerful. I was forced to endure the sound of their voices for almost an hour and a half before I got to listen to Alan's story.

Alan Gratz's story of love, courage, and determination is a compelling tale of the human spirit and the fight for freedom. The story is told in multiple voices and includes a wide range of perspectives as the author pieces together memories from different people who experienced some or all of his journey.

Refugee is a coming-of-age novel written by Alan Gratz about the Palestinian refugee Fakher Zidan in Lebanon. When Fakher's family flees their homeland during the Lebanese Civil War, they are forced to leave behind everything they know and start over in America. With a new language, new friends, and a new culture, Fakher must learn what it means to be American.

A young Syrian refugee, Malek, has started a new life in America. With his family's help and the support of a loving teacher, Malek quickly learns to speak English and adapts to school. But on one cold winter night, he's taken away from everything he knows as a civil war tears his home apart. Now he must fight for survival at an overcrowded detention center in Chicago--a place where people can die each day.

This is a true story of a refugee who flees his home to escape the war in Syria. The author, Alan Gratz, grew up with a great love for comic books and he uses that medium as inspiration to create this story about the refugee's experiences. It follows the protagonist from when he first arrives in France and throughout his journey across Europe. Along the way, readers are given glimpses into what refugees experience on their journey through different countries and cultures.
