This non-fiction title reviews the current state of affairs regarding the refugee crisis throughout the world. Topics include the reasoning that people are displaced, the laws and regulations that affect how people are able to move from country to country, and the state of camps and other housing for refugees. This title includes a table of contents, source notes, glossary, bibliography, index, and further reading. The text is broken up with many pictures, maps, and inserts that provide more information. One handy tool is a list of ways students can help refugees near the end of the book. Definitely recommended. (
