This is a novel showing a depiction of 2 young boys, Aryan and Kabir, 14 and 8 respectively, attempting to emigrate from Afghanistan to England.  One can imagine the horrors that 2 young boys of that age would encounter on a journey such as this.  I thought that the author did a good job of conveying these dangers into a novel form in such a way that it left an impact on the reader but not so much of an impact that it could be traumatizing fro the reader.  This is a short book at only about 240 pages and yet it was packed with an ability to keep the reader's interest.
