(3) YA The lives of three contemporary immigrant teens intersect aboard a smuggler's boat during an English Channel crossing. Abdul has fled war-torn Baghdad, Rosalia, a Roma, escaped sex trafficking, and Cheslav went AWOL from the Russian military. The teens' stories, revealed through flashbacks, are compelling and discourage easy stereotyping. Even on English soil, harrowing journeys behind them, safe haven for the trio remains realistically uncertain.
