(3) YA In 2015 Belgium, Syrian refugee Ahmed hides in the wine cellar of the house where American Max and his family are staying for a year; eventually, Max and new Belgian friends hatch a scheme on Ahmed's behalf. In third-person narration that alternates between the two boys, Marsh delivers a suspenseful but hopeful story of young people helping each other in a very difficult situation.
