"Kenan loves drawing and playing soccer with his friends. He dreams of being a famous athlete, hates it when his classmates trash his buck teeth by calling him 'Bugs Bunny,' and fights with his big brother who's too busy and cool for him lately. Sometimes his parents drive him crazy, but he feels loved and protected--until the war arrives on their doorstep and ruins everything. Soon, Kenan's family is trapped in their home with little food or water, surrounded by enemies. Ten long months will pass before they finally make it out of the country alive, with help from friends and strangers. And that's only the beginning of their journey. A riveting story of a Muslim boy's exile from war-torn Bosnia to the United States, World in Between celebrates the power of community and resilience, hope and kindness"--Dust jacket flap.
