The moving story of a family's fight to reunite after their lives are torn apart by war in Syria, from award-winning middle grade author Elizabeth Laird.
Thirteen-year-old Safiya and her family have been driven out of Syria by civil war. Safiya knows how lucky she is - lucky not to be living in a refugee camp, lucky to be alive. But it's hard to feel grateful when she's forced to look after her father and brother rather than go back to school. Now that she's lost her home, she's lonelier than ever.
As they struggle to rebuild their lives, Safiya realizes that her family has always been incomplete and with her own future in the balance, it's time to uncover the secrets that war has kept buried.
A House Without Walls is a powerful story of family, hope, and redemption amidst the refugee crisis in Syria from acclaimed author Elizabeth Laird and illustrated by Lucy Eldridge.
