Powerful, urgent, and deeply human, The Unwanted traces the real stories of Syrian refugees as they flee a homeland torn apart by civil war. Through expressive, journalistic artwork, Sibert Honor–winning creator Don Brown guides readers through a modern humanitarian crisis—an exodus beginning in 2011 that grows to staggering proportions, reshaping borders, straining neighboring countries, and testing the world’s compassion.

Brown captures both the brutality and the bravery of this journey: families forced to leave everything behind, children navigating impossible landscapes, and communities struggling to survive in the face of fear, displacement, and political unrest. Yet woven through the devastation are moments of resilience, kindness, and fierce hope.

This is more than a history—it’s a call to witness. A call to remember that those fleeing violence are not statistics but people. And a reminder that empathy, even in the smallest acts, matters.

A standout title recognized by Kirkus, The Horn Book, the New York Public Library, and YALSA, The Unwanted is an essential read for teens and adults seeking honest, accessible storytelling about global conflict and the strength of the human spirit.
