There was a story Jahir used to tell me. About how the first humans
were born with wings. Can you imagine what that would be like? To
fly anywhere in the world without worrying about having the right
papers? Mico has left his family, his home, his future. Setting out
in search of a better life, he instead finds himself navigating one
of the world's most inhospitable environments - the Jungle. For
Mico, just one of many 'unaccompanied children', the Calais refugee
camp has a wildness, a brutality all of its own. A melting pot of
characters, cultures, and stories, the Jungle often seems like its
own strange world. But despite his ambitions to escape, Mico is
unable to buy his way out from the 'Ghost Men' - the dangerous men
with magic who can cross borders unnoticed. Alone, desperate, and
running out of options, the idea of jumping onto a speeding train
to the UK begins to feel worryingly appealing. But when Leila
arrives at the camp one day, everything starts to change.
Outspoken, gutsy, and fearless, she shows Mico that hope and
friendship can grow in the most unusual places, and maybe, just
maybe, they'll show you the way out as well. Fans of Khaled
Hosseini, Benjamin Zephaniah's Refugee Boy and Gillian Cross' After
Tomorrow will love this important and touching debut novel which
touches on community, friendship, hope and the very real dangers of
everyday life in the Calais refugee camp, known as The Jungle.
