Close to the Wind
Author(s): Jon Walter
Ten-year-old Malik's world is falling apart. Soldiers have invaded town, and his mother is missing, leaving Malik with his grandfather. Along with a thousand other refugees, their hope for escape to a new life lies in gaining passage aboard one ship. But the demand for tickets is high--and so is the cost. 5/8.
