Forced to flee his home in Syria, a young boy and his family face the dangers of civil war. Winner of the 2018 UKLA Book Award and shortlisted for the Scottish Teen Book Award, Welcome to Nowhere is a powerful, moving story of conflict and hope.
Twelve-year-old Omar and his brothers and sisters were born and raised in the beautiful and bustling city of Bosra, Syria. Omar doesn't care about politics - all he wants is to grow up to become a successful businessman who will take the world by storm. But when his clever older brother, Musa, gets mixed up with some young political activists, everything changes.
Before long, bombs are falling, people are dying, and Omar and his family have no choice but to flee their home with only what they can carry. Yet no matter how far they run, the shadow of war follows them... Soon, they have no choice but to make the dangerous journey out of their homeland altogether. But where do you go when you can't go home?
