YA
In war-torn Bosnia, thirteen-year-old Ehmet and his mother leave Sarajevo for the countryside but find that things are not safe there, either. With his mother, and then alone, Ehmet heads for his grandparents' house in Croatia, making his way across dangerous land-mined terrain. A useful map dating events in 1993 prefaces this compelling novel.
