Kicked Out
Book Review
It showed aspects of racism, theft and violence but the main characters got through these challenges with belief, faith and perseverance
Kicked Out is a great book showcasing the importance of kindness and trust in your friends. It showed aspects of racism, theft and violence but the main characters got through these challenges with belief, faith and perseverance.
It was sad and dark at times but it was a page-turning adventure and made me want to read the first and next book in the series.
I would recommend it for children who are eleven years or older because it is about older children and problems caused by the war in Syria. It is a great book.
There is also a great storyline and writing talents behind it. The author is very gifted at writing.

The boys are thrown out of Mark’s house and the future looks bleak. And just when he thinks things can’t get any worse, Ali’s father moves back to town.
