This is one volume in the Moonstones series for 8 to 12 year olds. Each story has an element of mystery or adventure, with a strong storyline, and is suitable for the multi-cultural classroom. The stories also have high interest value for schoolchildren and strong female as well as male characters. Refugee follows the plight of an Asian family living in Uganda at the time of Idi Amin's expulsion of the Asian population. Rashmi's tenth birthday, in 1972, is followed by his family's forced departure for England. His attempts to integrate in his new and impoverished life in England are brightened as he finally becomes accepted through his love of sport.
