Críticas:

Children living in more politically stable countries can learn a lot from these books and appreciate better what it means to be free. The clever combination of photographs and watercolour illustrations, plus the useful glossary of facts, provide a wealth of authentic detail

(Carousel)

8 plus or 80 plus, no-one could read Hamzat's Journey and come away unmoved or unchanged by the terrible experiences related. These stories in The Refugee Diary series need to be told and we, and the rest of the world, need to listen.

(Armadillo Magazine)

This is a beautifully written and illustrated book, and the poignant story will resonate deeply with children over 9. It will also be very useful for exploring aspects of Citizenship at KS2 and 3.

(Irene Babsky School Librarian)

Three stars.

(Books for Keeps)

His story is told in a way that brings a human face to the statistics and deportations that fill the evening news, and does so with a sense of the voice of the child who needed to flee his country. The story balances the drama of his accident with the plainer tale of a visit to London that turned into an application for asylum, and a sense of hopefulness and gratitude shines through.

(Nursery Education)

A sense of hopefulness and gratitude shines through.

Reseña del editor:

This third book in the Refugee Diaries series follows the story of a boy from Chechnya. In 2001 when Chechens were at war with Russia, he was on his way to school in the capital Grozny when he stepped on a landmine. His leg had to be amputated and eventually he and his father went to the UK for expert treatment and fitting of an artifical leg. As it was unsafe for them to return to Chechnya, the family sought asylum in the UK. Eventually Hamzat's mother and sister joined them in London and now the family are learning to adapt to their new life after the horror of living in a war zone.

This poignant and at times harrowing story reveals the bravery of Hamzat and his family in facing and overcoming their circumstances to start a new life. Simply told and atmospherically illustrated with photographs and colour illustrations, this is a powerful book that will move all who read it and also be a valuable resource for supporting Citizenship learning in KS2 and KS3 classroooms and libraries.
