Flight: A Story of Seeking Refuge

Superstar Alan Gratz's novella Resist: A Story of D-Day was an instant New York Times bestseller, and we're continuing the trend with a brand-new 80-page novella! Written in Alan Gratz's signature fast-paced, action-packed style, this story follows the treacherous immigration journey of a character we briefly met in his bestselling novel Two Degrees.
Daniela López loves Honduras--she loves the land and the wildlife, she loves her family's coffee farm, and most importantly, Honduras is home. Until a blight ruins their crops, and any hopes for a future.

Daniela's family decides to take a risk and make for America, where they hope to find new lives as refugees.

But after Daniela and her little brother are separated from their parents, they must brave the infamously dangerous trek through Mexico alone, with only each other for support. Together, they face a perilous journey atop a train and through villages where they are not always welcomed, with gangsters and potential spies haunting their every step.

Will Daniela and her brother survive to see America and begin their new lives?

This timely, gripping story from beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Alan Gratz examines the treacherous journey faced by refugees searching for a better life, and the courage it takes to survive.
