Refugee

《逃難者》（Refugee）是Alan Gratz所著的一部青少年歷史小說，講述了三個來自不同時代和地點的兒童難民的故事。

故事主線分別跟隨：

約瑟夫（Josef），1930年代納粹德國的一名猶太男孩，他和家人在納粹迫害下被迫逃離，搭乘渡輪前往古巴尋求庇護，但遭遇嚴酷的政治阻撓。

伊莎貝爾（Isabel），1994年的古巴女孩，在國家動盪與物資匱乏中，被迫與家人乘坐竹筏偷渡到美國，途中經歷暴風雨和海上險境。

馬默（Mahmoud），2015年敘利亞少年，內戰爆發後，與家人踏上前往歐洲的漫長逃亡之路，遭遇暴力、勒索與生命威脅。

這三條故事線跨越近一個世紀，反映了不同時代難民面臨的相似困境——失去家園、被迫分離、面對恐懼與不確定的未來。小說細膩刻劃了他們的掙扎與求生意志，呈現了難民們對希望和安穩生活的渴望。

本書以緊湊的敘事和深刻的情感打動人心，讓讀者理解難民的苦難與堅韌，並反思人道議題。這是一部重要且適合青少年閱讀的小說，被譽為幫助現代人認識全球難民危機的經典之作。

 "A gripping, visceral, and hold-your-breath intense story of three young refugees." - John Green This action-packed novel tackles topics both timely and timeless: courage, survival, and the quest for home. JOSEF is a Jewish boy living in 1930s Nazi Germany. With the threat of concentration camps looming, he and his family board a ship bound for the other side of the world . .

. ISABEL is a Cuban girl in 1994. With riots and unrest plaguing her country, she and her family set out on a raft, hoping to find safety in America .

. . MAHMOUD is a Syrian boy in 2015. With his homeland torn apart by violence and destruction, he and his family begin a long trek toward Europe .

. . All three kids go on harrowing journeys in search of refuge.

All will face unimaginable dangers -- from drownings to bombings to betrayals. But there is always the hope of tomorrow. And although Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud are separated by continents and decades, shocking connections will tie their stories together in the end.
