Ranging in age from five to seventeen, the children live in partitioned shipping-crate homes crowded on a field below a mountain. Battling a dreary monster that wants to rob them of their purpose, dignity, and identity, each survives in his or her own way.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Waiting Place \u003c\/i\u003eis an unflinching look at ten young lives suspended outside of time--and bravely proceeding anyway. Each lyrical passage leads the reader from one story to the next, revealing the dreams, ambitions, and personalities of each displaced child. The stories are punctuated by intimate photographs, followed by the author's reflections on life in a refugee camp. Locking the global refugee crisis sharply in focus, \u003ci\u003eThe Waiting Place\u003c\/i\u003e is an urgent call to change what we teach young people about the nature of home and safety.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDina Nayeri\u003c\/b\u003e is a former refugee and the author of the adult title \u003ci\u003eThe Ungrateful Refugee\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times \u003c\/i\u003eBook Prize and the Kirkus Prize.
