| Summary |
It was a night without comfort, and without sleep. The rain fell without mercy, and the waves tossed the boat around like a plaything.There were no lights to head for, and there was no rescue coming. No one on Earth knew where they were, and no one even noticed that they were missing. Fifteen year old Abdul has made the long and dangerous journey from his war torn home in Baghdad, only to end up in the squalid, makeshift migrant community in Calais. Desperate to get to England, Abdul takes a big risk and entrusts his life to a people smuggler. |
