"Ebo is alone. His brother, Kwame, has disappeared, and Ebo knows it can only be to attempt the hazardous journey to Europe, and a better life, the same journey their sister set out on months ago. But Ebo refuses to be left behind in Ghana. He sets out after Kwame and joins him on the quest to reach Europe. Ebo's epic journey takes him across the Sahara Desert to the dangerous streets of Tripoli, and finally out to the merciless sea. But with every step he holds on to his hope for a new life, and a reunion with his family" -- provided by publisher.

This need to be read in schools. No human is illegal.

I took way too long to read this. This is really good and really emotional. I was lucky enough to meet the author at a signing.

I read this in one sitting and will be keeping it for rereads. A really good comprehensive story about the sacrifices and travels of refugees. Highly recommend.
