In an Oklahoman middle school, Khosrou (whom everyone calls Daniel) stands in front of a skeptical audience of classmates, telling the tales of his family's history, stretching back years, decades, and centuries. At the core is Daniel's story of how they became refugees―starting with his mother's vocal embrace of Christianity in a country that made such a thing a capital offense, and continuing through their midnight flight from the secret police, bribing their way onto a plane-to-anywhere. Anywhere becomes the sad, cement refugee camps of Italy, and then finally asylum in the U.S. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImplementing a distinct literary style and challenging western narrative structures, Nayeri deftly weaves through stories of the long and beautiful history of his family in Iran, adding a richness of ancient tales and Persian folklore.

Thirteen-year-old Abdi and his five-year-old sister Alva are on the run, their last hope to escape through the forest and to the sea.

After a beast killed their mother, Abdi becomes the guardian of his five-year-old sister, Alva. With Alva feverish, Abdi is anxious to find supplies and travel to the remote island where their ornithologist father is stationed. The creatures the siblings encounter are six feet tall, covered in black fur, with hoofs and curling claws that unfurl for attacks. The narrative maintains an engaging and brutal pace as Abdi struggles to keep his sister and himself alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis gripping YA novel explores deeper themes, such as the line that separates not only child from adult but man from beast.
