Together... We will read-

Surviving Social Media by Eric Braun

Nowhere Boy by Katherine Marsh is a gripping tale of friendship, courage, and the power of humanity that will pull you right in. Imagine being 13, in a foreign country where everything feels strange, and then discovering someone your age who’s been through more than you can imagine—a refugee, alone and in hiding. This is where Max’s life changes when he meets Ahmed, a Syrian boy who’s lost everything but hope. Their unlikely friendship is filled with daring risks, secret hideouts, and heart-pounding moments that will keep you turning the pages. As they navigate a world that seems set against them, you'll find yourself rooting for these two boys, not just to survive, but to find their place in a world that often seems so divided. It’s a story that will leave you thinking long after the last page, reminding you of the impact of kindness, the strength of hope, and the courage it takes to stand up for what’s right.
