Boy, Everywhere

Review
By The Guardian

Boy, Everywhere by A. M. Dassu follows 13-year-old Sami on his journey from affluent comfort in Damascus to destitution, abuse and mistrust in Britain, via Turkish people-smugglers and terrifying sea voyages. Carefully researched, wholly convincing, it’s a gripping, uncompromising debut, super-charged with the power of empathy.
