There was a story Jahir used to tell me. About how the first humans were born with wings. Can you imagine what that would be like? To fly anywhere in the world without worrying about having the right papers? Setting out in search of a better life, Mico has left his family and home, and finds himself navigating one of the world's most inhospitable environments--the Jungle. For Mico, just one of many "unaccompanied children," the Calais refugee camp has a brutality all of its own. He is unable to buy his way out from the "Ghost Men"--the dangerous men with magic who can cross borders unnoticed. Alone and desperate, the idea of jumping onto a speeding train to the UK begins to feel worryingly appealing. But when Leila arrives at the camp, everything starts to change. Outspoken and fearless, she shows Mico that hope and friendship can grow in the most unusual places.… (mer)

The Jungle is an important fictional story about a real life refugee camp on the coast of France. It follows Mico who was forced to leave his home in search of a better life. He meets a ton of characters with tragic pasts who all ended up in the terrible refugee camp dubbed The Jungle. Mico eventually becomes best friends with a girl named Leila & they get into some shenanigans.

I really enjoyed this book. It has beautiful writing, great characters, and a simple yet effective plot. Two teenagers, one goal, and lots of shenanigans... what's not to love?
