Series A refugee diary
Summary/Abstract This third book in the Refugee Diary series follows the story of a boy from Chechnya. In 2001 when Chechens were at war with Russia, he was on his way to school in the capital of Grozny when he stepped on a landmine. His leg had to be amputated, and eventually he and his father went to the U.K. for expert treatment and fitting of an artificial leg. As it was unsafe for them to return to Chechnya, the family sought asylum in the U.K., where the family is learning to adapt to their new life after the horror of living in a war zone. This poignant and at times harrowing story reveals the bravery of Hamzat and his family in facing and overcoming their circumstances to start a new life.

Series Refugee diary
Summary/Abstract This book focuses on a Kurdish family from northern Iraq. Mohammed, who was born in 1994, briefly explains some of the early problems during the Saddam Hussein years when his parents were arrested and jailed several times. The family was beaten in 2000 and Mohammed's father was taken away. No one knows what happened to him. Shortly thereafter, Mohammed and his mother escaped with other refugees and ultimately found their way to safety in England. The first page of this book has a clear map showing the family's route. This is a difficult story with a fairly happy ending.
