Escape from Aleppo by N.H. Senzai
Hi, my name is Reese. I like hanging out with friends, skiing, and playing softball.
In the book Escape from Aleppo by N.H. Senzai, you follow the journey of a young girl who is fighting her way through the war in South Sudan.
In the start of the book, 14 year old Nadia’s house is bombed, and she is separated from her family. She is living in the war-torn country of Sudan during the civil war between the president and the rebel forces. Nadia has to find her way back to her family while trying to stay alive in these times of war. As Naida tries to make her way across the state lines to Turkey, she meets new people who are in the same position as her.
One of the main characters that she comes in contact with and comes to like very much is Ammo Mazen, a traveler who has a secret job as a collector of precious items for a group. Ammo Mazen helps get Nadia where she needs to be while pursuing his own duties. She also comes across a young boy named Basel, who helps them along the journey with knowledge from his deceased grandmother. In the end, Nadia ends up reunited with her family across the Turkish border. Overall, this book was a very good read for me personally. I think that it brings in aspects of all interesting topics and makes this book interesting and not boring to read. It was mostly interesting and intriguing, but there were some parts where I was left without an explanation.
