Asylum Seekers

(4) YA Real Life Heroes series. Senker presents fourteen examples of young asylum seekers. Fleeing conflicts in Iraq, Bosnia, Sudan, and other war-torn countries, some find safety, others are deported, some await decisions--all are compelling narratives of danger and sacrifice. The stock photos detract from the personal stories, but do give a sense of the culture and circumstances of each vignette. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
