Born in Paktia, an Afghan village near mountains, Zazai lives with his father, a shepherd and religious teacher, his mother and his little brother Hilal. But he has to stop going at school since Talibans, occupying a large part of the country, hire boys out of schools. He is only 15 when his uncle decides he should flee Afghanistan. Here starts a long and dangerous 6-month journey to reach Western Europe along with untrustworthy smugglers.
He travels through Pakistan, where Zazai meets Wakas and Sohail, 13, both Pashtun refugees like him; then Iran, Turkey, where he is held hostage; Bulgaria, where he is jailed; Hungary, where he stays in a detention center; Italy and its juvenile welfare home; and finally, France where he settles down and starts a new life.
This book recounts his dangerous journey from oppression to liberty. Throughout their ordeal, Zazai and his two friends always remained hopeful – their only option to keep going on!
