About This Novel
12-year-old Gulwali lives in Nangarhar Province in eastern Afghanistan. His father and grandfather were killed one after another in the conflict. In order to stay away from war and suffering, his mother sent him out of the motherland, and he began a journey of escape that narrowly escaped death. He walked on his feet, bumped on horseback, jumped off a speeding train, risked his life to cross the border, escaped from the clutches of the snakehead, and crossed mountains, rivers, lakes, and oceans, all in the hope of reaching a place where he could survive. After one year, being imprisoned twice, traveling through 9 countries in Asia and Europe, and traveling more than 20,000 kilometers, Gurdwari finally came to the UK and opened a new chapter in his life...

A good book to understand refugees and the world
In any case, this book made me realize how unbearable and cruel the experience of refugee escape is... I also realized the horror of war and the humanity under such conditions...
May the world be peaceful, no war, no hunger, no pain, keep moving forward
