Refugee este un roman de ficțiune istorică scris în 2017, care împletește trei povești captivante despre familii care caută adăpost în alte țări. Elevii se vor vedea în tinerii protagoniști: copii care se confruntă cu circumstanțe tragice, dar care, în inima lor, sunt doar niște copii care își iubesc familiile și vor să trăiască în pace.
Setarea unei povești este locația și ora, sau unde și când. Setările joacă adesea un rol crucial mai ales în cazul ficțiunii istorice sau atunci când există mai multe locuri și timeline, așa cum este cazul în carte, Refugee de Alan Gratz. Acest storyboard îi ajută pe elevi să identifice unde și când au loc fiecare dintre poveștile din Refugee.

Germany
Isabel's story begins in Havana, Cuba after the Maleconazo protests. Isabel's father is threatened with imprisonment and wants to flee to America. Calling the protestors counterrevolutionaries, Fidel Castro allowed a window of time for those who wanted to leave Cuba to leave. 35,000 people fled.

Mahmoud's story begins in Aleppo, Syria during the Syrian civil war. The war began in 2011 and is increasingly dangerous. Everyone knows someone who has died from the bombing. Mahmoud and his family are forced to flee when their apartment building is bombed.
The journey from Germany to Cuba began on a train. It continued on a large cruise ship that it took about two weeks to cross the wide Atlantic Ocean and docked in the harbor of Havana, Cuba.

Isabel's journey from Havana, Cuba to Miami, Florida in the United States is by a makeshift boat made by the Castillo family. The two families crowd into the small boat to cross the Florida Straits.

Mahmoud's journey from Aleppo, Syria to Germany begins by car to Turkey. They violently lose their car and have to go on foot. The most harrowing part of the journey is by an inflatable rubber boat from Turkey to Lesbos, an island that is part of Greece (which is part of the European Union).
