calais (france)

The author documents, in graphic novel format, her experiences while volunteering at "The Jungle," a camp of mainly Middle Eastern and African refugees in the port town of Calais, France, who are hoping to get to the United Kingdom. The author also addresses the prejudice and scapegoating arising from the political right.

In 1940, as Calais, France, falls to the Germans during World War II, an American boy named Peter Panzerfaust rallies a group of orphans to work together to survive and find their way to safety.
