Junge ohne Namen

My family is gone. My papers are too. I only have one letter left. I – that’s what I’m called here. I am an unaccompanied minor refugee. Only I’m not really unaccompanied, because I have L, E, and V. They are my companions.

Steve Tasane tells the story of I without any kitsch or sentimentality. I is not a victim; he is a ten-year-old boy full of childlike optimism, who, in the face of the great suffering he endures, touches and stirs the reader equally.

Nominated for the German Youth Literature Prize.

The fate of refugee children must touch everyone.

Tasane's understanding of children's concerns is on par with that of great children's authors like Maurice Sendak and Tomi Ungerer.

A moving book that should be read.
