Introduction - Boy oOverboard by Morris Gleitzman. It is set in Afghanistan. In the novel “Boy oOverboard” jJamal’s family suffers hardship in Afghanistan and on their journey to Australia. By the end of the story, they can look forward to a better life. I agree that they made a good decision to come to Australia, because there is no war , no Taliban, and their kids can get an education.


They made the right decision to leave Afghanistan, Bbecause there was war going on. There were tanks everywhere, and it was all like a bloody and scary battlefield. There were land mines to blow up the enemies , it was pretty scary. There were targets on every corner. It was hard to get out, especially for girls, because they were not allowed out of the house without male supervision.
