Media Reviews
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. Dassu, internationally-acclaimed children's author *
An incredibly moving story which allows the reader to see the world through the eyes of young people affected by global conflicts. Sita Brahmachari has skilfully woven together Amir and Mo's story to show the power of friendship and community to heal the wounds of war.Phoenix Brothers glows with empathy giving voice to Amir and Mo's story and allowing them to soar free from their fire of ice and ashes. * Jasbinder Bilan *
