Fifteen-year-old Elias and his family are caught in the middle of an international conflict &mdash; the deadly crossfire between the Syrian Army and government-opposed Rebels. Dangers mount, conditions worsen, and after witnessing the tragedy of war and the indignities of a refugee camp, Elias finds himself a newcomer in North America where he comes face to face with completely new battles &mdash; culture shock, racism, and bullying. <p>Inspired by the stories of her newcomer students and their families, <i>The Garden</i> is a poignant yet inspiring young adult novel that sheds light on the social impact of modern military conflict and the plight of innocent victims displaced by it. It will also provide young readers with empathy, respect, and a new understanding of our new neighbors uprooted by war
