O książce
Mohammed has been orphaned in a suicide bombing and rescued from the debris of his family home by his Scout Leader, a British Army soldier and his search dog. However, the soldier, the only person that seems to care for him, leaves shortly after the rescue, at the end of his posting.
Undeterred, the boy travels half way around the world to find the soldier, in the hope that he will adopt him.
The journey is fraught with danger and the boy confronts many gruelling challenges; walking thousands of miles on foot, often through sandstorms, braves armed gangs and overloaded trucks, as well as a sinking dinghy and a menacing refugee camp in Calais. His many attempts to cross the channel are frustrated by the Border force.
Can he beat the odds of getting to the UK and then, if he does, can he find the soldier. Will being a Scout help him?
This is Mo's story, his 'IMPOSSIBLE DREAM'
