Commentary In Favor Of Books The Girl from Aleppo: Nujeen's Escape from War to Freedom

Prize-winning journalist and the co-author of smash New York Times bestseller I Am Malala, Christina Lamb, now tells the inspiring true story of another remarkable young hero: Nujeen Mustafa, a teenager born with cerebral palsy, whose harrowing journey from war-ravaged Syria to Germany in a wheelchair is a breathtaking tale of fortitude, grit, and hope that lends a face to the greatest humanitarian issue of our time, the Syrian refugee crisis. For millions around the globe, sixteen-year-old Nujeen Mustafa embodies the best of the human spirit. Confined to a wheelchair because of her cerebral palsy and denied formal schooling in Syria because of her illness, Nujeen taught herself English by watching American soap operas. When her small town became the epicenter of the brutal fight between ISIS militants and US-backed Kurdish troops in 2014, she and her family were forced to flee. Despite her physical limitations, Nujeen embarked on the arduous trek to safety and a new life. The grueling sixteen-month odyssey by foot, boat, and bus took her across Turkey and the Mediterranean to Greece, through Macedonia to Serbia and Hungary, and finally, to Germany. Yet, in spite of the tremendous physical hardship she endured, Nujeen's extraordinary optimism never wavered. Refusing to give in to despair or see herself as a passive victim, she kept her head high. As she told a BBC reporter, "You should fight to get what you want in this world." Nujeen's positivity and resolve infuses this unforgettable story of one young woman determined to make a better life for herself. Told by acclaimed British foreign correspondent Christina Lamb, The Girl from Aleppo is a unique and powerful memoir that gives voice to the Syrian refugee crisis, helping us to understand that the world must change—and offering the inspiration to make that change reality.

I hadn't managed to read The Girl from Aleppo: Nujeen's Escape from War to Freedom or as it has since been renamed Nujeen: One Girl's Incredible Journey from War-torn Syria in a Wheelchair during the month I was doing a challenge on Syria, but I am glad that I found the time to read it.Nujeen is the youngest child of a large Kudish family living in Syria. During her birth there were complications and Nujeen had problems learning to walk. Her family moved from a small Syrian village to Aleppo in

If you think you know the life of Syrian refugees, you best think again. Right-wing republicans prepare to lose some followers because the story of Nujeen Mustafa with moments that can be anything from spirit lifting to heart-wrenching is the REAL story of middle eastern refugees; war, desperation, horror, and escape.

This book was co-written by the same person who co-wrote Malala's book. It is an easy enough read to be suited to young adults but an interesting enough book to be read by adults as well. It tells the story of teenage Nujeen, a Kurdish girl from Syria who also happens to have a form of cerebral palsy. The book starts as she waits to board a boat to Lesbos in Greece but then goes back to her early days as the youngest child in a large family, spoiled by all because of her disability. Her family

A must read

I have been to Lesbos. It is one of the Greek Islands. It was this island that 16-year-old Nujeen Mustafa gets to in 2015. It is a tranquil island even though it is touristy and quite beautiful. It was odd seeing the news at the time of Syrian refugees paying smugglers ($1,500 each plus another 50 for a life jacket) to get to that island. The gateway to Europe. Nujeen explains in the prologue that it was not just Syrians. There were people from Iraq, Morocco and Afghanistan. To be leaving all

If music, her voice would be alegrettowith a young and happy falsetto. She tells of war, fear and painso that readers may gainwisdom from The Girl from Aleppo

I think I was expecting more of a memoir than history not that I dislike history. It just wasn't what I expected. I'd like to finish it though.I went back and finished this one and decided it is a 2.5 maybe even a solid 3 star. I really like Nujeen but truthfully it seems as though some of this may not be 100% true. Maybe I'm wrong. Did anyone else get that feeling though?Almost put it under "'written by the C.I.A." but decided that would be going a bit too far.Let me know what others thought of
