This is a powerful and timely story about one boy's epic journey

across Africa to Europe, a graphic novel for all children with glorious

colour artwork throughout. From Eoin Colfer, previously Irish Children's

Laureate, and the team behind his bestselling ARTEMIS FOWL graphic

novels.

Ebo: alone.

His sister left months ago. Now

his brother has disappeared too, and Ebo knows it can only be to make

the hazardous journey to Europe.

Ebo's epic journey takes him

across the Sahara Desert to the dangerous streets of Tripoli, and

finally out to the merciless sea. But with every step he holds on to his

hope for a new life, and a reunion with his sister.
