Review:
Two boys, Max and Ahmed, are away from their homes in a town where they do not fit in. The two boys meet and become friends who help each other. This book has an excellent pace with a good mix of detail and intrigue. This book hooks the reader from an interesting beginning to the happy ending. With the strong theme of friendship, Nowhere Boy connects to the real life problem of not being able to make friends easily.
