(2) YA Illustrated by Lars Horneman. Alternating between past and present, this spare, haunting graphic novel, translated from the Danish, follows child Amina from her war-torn Syrian village to the refugee boat she boards without her uncle (they could afford only one ticket). Amina's memories merge with the present as the boat capsizes and she drowns. Silhouettes and shadows add texture and tone to Horneman's clear line work, while large panels and cinematic angles control reading pace.
