The Unforgotten Coat (United Kingdom) by Frank Cottrell Boyce 
When two Mongolian brothers appear one morning in Julie's sixth grade class, no one, least of all Julie, knows what to make of them. But then Chingis, the older of the two, proclaims that Julie is to be their 'Good Guide.' Now Julie must somehow navigate them through soccer, school uniforms, and British slang. One day the brothers disappear. It’s up to Julie to find them and bring them home. But where is “home” for these refugee boys? Ages 8-12 |
