'Phoenix Brothers is a vital story, powerfully and movingly told. We see the world through Amir's eyes as he finds the courage to tell the truth he knows not everyone will want to hear of his journey with his 'Phoenix Brother' Mo, as unaccompanied refugees from Iraq to a new life in England. It is a story of loss, cruelty, suffering and fear but also of kindness, beauty, love, and hope. A beautiful, compelling, and important book.'Clare Furniss, best-selling author'A beautifully written, moving book showcasing the rarely explored lone child refugee experience with heart. It stirred me.'A. M.
