"This moving autobiographical novel" for middle grade readers tells the gripping story of a Muslim boy's exile from war-torn Bosnia to the US (School Library Journal, starred review). Kenan loves drawing and playing soccer with his friends. He wants to be a famous athlete and hates it when his classmates make fun of his buck teeth. He fights with his big brother, who's too busy and cool for him lately. Sometimes his parents drive him crazy, but he feels loved and protected—until war breaks out and changes everything. Soon, Kenan's family is trapped in their home with little food or water, surrounded by enemies. Ten months later, with help from friends and strangers, they finally make it out of the country alive. But that's only the beginning of their journey. An action-packed page-turner with heart about a kid doing his best during difficult times, World in Between celebrates the power of community and resilience, hope and kindness.
