*NOW UPDATED WITH EXTRA MATERIAL* The boy who fled Afghanistan and
endured a terrifying journey in the hands of people smugglers is
now a young man intent on changing the world. His story is a deeply
harrowing and incredibly inspiring tale of our times. Gulwali
Passarlay was sent away from Afghanistan at the age of twelve,
after his father was killed in a gun battle with the US Army. He
made a twelve-month odyssey across Europe, spending time in
prisons, suffering hunger, making a terrifying journey across the
Mediterranean in a tiny boat, and enduring a desolate month in the
camp at Calais. Somehow he survived, and made it to Britain, where
he was fostered, sent to school, and won a place at a top
university. He was chosen to carry the Olympic torch in 2012. One
boy's experience is the central story of our times. This powerful
memoir celebrates the triumph of courage over adversity.
