What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Thirteen-year-old Safiya and her family have been driven out of Syria by civil war. Safiya knows how lucky she is--lucky not to be living in a refugee camp, lucky to be alive. But it's hard to feel grateful when she's forced to look after her father and brother rather than go back to school, and now that she's lost her home, she's lonelier than ever.
As they struggle to rebuild their lives, Safiya realizes that her family has always been incomplete and with her own future in the balance, it's time to uncover the secrets that war has kept buried.
Here are some basic facts about me: My name is Safiya and I'm twelve years old. I'm a Syrian from Damascus. I'm a refugee, but I hate that word! I'm a girl. Perhaps I should also mention that my teeth stick out a bit. So far, that's nothing special.
I mean, there are loads of other people like me (maybe with nicer teeth). So here are some slightly more interesting things you might like to know: We had to escape in a hurry from Syria (more about that later) and came to Jordan, the country next door.
That's where we live now. At least they speak Arabic in Jordan, so I didn't have to learn a new language. I've got a twin called Saba, but I've never even met her! Well, we must have met inside our mother but we were separated when we were a few weeks old.
