I will make it. And I will tell their stories.\"\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br\u0026gt; Thirteen-year-old Samim is a loyal friend, a gifted chess player -- and a refugee. After his family is killed in a bombing, Samim makes a long, dangerous journey from Afghanistan to the UK. But even then his safety isn't guaranteed: Samim must tell his story to convince the authorities to let him stay for good.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br\u0026gt; Samim relives the perils he faced and remembers the many friends he made and lost -- the intrepid girl who dressed as a boy for safety, the courageous grandmother seeking a new home for her nine grandchildren, and especially his funny, spirited best friend Zayn.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br\u0026gt; With his past never forgotten, Samim begins to build a new life in the UK: starting school and making new friends. But he also faces bigoted bullies and an uncertain future. Will Samim be granted asylum and allowed to stay in his new home?\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; \u0026lt;br\u0026gt; My Name is Samim is a heartbreaking yet hopeful story of courage, resilience and friendship. Highlighting the experiences of young refugees and asylum-seekers, readers will empathise with Samim as he strives for a safe home and a better future. Fidan Meikle is a stunning new voice in middle-grade fiction. Her wry, heartfelt and immersive writing will draw readers into Samim's world.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081501524137,"sku":"PHBK-9781782509301","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/17793633482822.jpg?v=1779377076","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/needs-metadata-9781782509301","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
