"Phoenix Brothers captures the voice of a refugee child with rare power, sensitivity & authenticity, wrapping it all up in a compelling narrative.. a spectacularly good novel... I’d recommend as a must-read for secondary school students everywhere." @andrewemc.bsky.social @engmediacentre.bsky.social
