«Welcome to Nowhere» is Elizabeth Laird's young adult novel, published by Pan Macmillan UK in paperback (352 pages, in English).
Omar, a twelve-year-old boy from Bosra (Syria), only wants to become a businessman, but the war and his brother Musa's involvement with activists drag him along: his family flees with nothing but the clothes on their backs and, pursued by the conflict, ends up risking everything to leave the country. A story about refugees, loss of home and hope.
Published in 2017, it is illustrated by Lucy Eldridge and won the UKLA Book Award; it was also shortlisted for the Scottish Teen Book Award.
Aimed at readers aged 9 to 14, it brings the refugee drama closer to a young audience.
