` She is our hero. Everyone must read her story. She will inspire you` Malala Yousafzai An inspiring tale of modern migration, overcoming adversity & escaping the hell of war, from a girl struggling to walk for the very first time in her life. Nujeen Mustafa has cerebral palsy & cannot walk. This did not stop her braving inconceivable odds to travel in her wheelchair from Syria in search of a new life. Sharing her full story for the first time, Nujeen recounts the details of her childhood & disability, as well as the specifics of her harrowing journey across the Mediterranean to Greece & finally to Germany to seek an education & the medical treatment she needs. Nujeen`s story has already touched millions & in this book written with Christina Lamb, bestselling co-author of `I Am Malala`, she helps to put a human face on a global emergency. Trapped in a fifth floor apartment in Aleppo & unable to go to school, she taught herself to speak English by US watching television. As civil war between Assad`s forces & ISIS militants broke out around them, Nujeen & her family fled first to her native Kobane, then Turkey before they joined thousands of displaced persons in a journey to Europe & asylum. She wanted to come to Europe, she said, to become an astronaut, to meet the Queen & to learn how to walk. In her strong, positive voice, Nujeen tells the story of what it is really like to be a refugee, to have grown up in a dictatorship only for your life to be blighted by war; to have left a beloved homeland to become dependent on others. It is the story of our times told through the incredible bravery of one remarkable girl determined to keep smiling. ...
