Books
Life for musician Bassel and his dog Stella in Damascus, Syria, has changed since the civil war began. Instead of enjoying long walks through their neighbourhood, they hear bombs toppling buildings and sharp blasts of gunfire through the night. When it becomes too dangerous for him to stay, Bassel makes the difficult decision to escape, leaving his family, friends - and Stella - behind. After a long, dangerous journey, Bassel finally finds refuge in Belgium, but misses his family, his home, and most of all - Stella. With the help of friends in his new home, Bassel hatches a dramatic plan to rescue his beloved dog.
