My name is Samim. I'm thirteen years and three months old, I love chess -- and I'm a refugee. I was happy in Afghanistan, until the day bombs ripped my life apart. I escaped with my best friend Zayn, hoping to find safety in the UK. But the journey was dangerous and we lost so much along the way?Now I'm here, trying to make new friends and a new home, but will the authorities let me stay? First, I must tell my story. Are you ready to hear it?
