Description

For fourteen-year-old Hasina, life is a constant threat. As a Rohingya in Rakhine province, she knows that the sound of helicopters can mean only one thing: danger. When soldiers invade her village, Hasina and her brother Araf are forced to flee for their lives. With no clear destination in mind, they embark on a perilous journey through the forest, searching for safety and answers.

As they navigate this treacherous landscape, Hasina must confront the harsh realities of her world and the conflict that threatens everything she holds dear. Will she be able to find help and support when she needs it most? Can she summon the courage to fight for her family's future amidst the escalating violence?

This powerful and thought-provoking novel tells a story that is both timely and timeless, shedding light on the struggles of the Rohingya people in Myanmar. With its fast-paced and accessible writing style, Crossing the Farak River is an important introduction to this critical issue for young readers.
