The claim of refugee by Alan Gratz is to always love your family no matter the occasion. The reason I say this is a girl named Isabel and her Family arguing a lot on a boat trying to get to Cuba and there is a problem and now they are in the water trying not to drown because something malfunctioned on the boat, so If they had not been arguing then someone would have tried to fix the motor that malfunction. The good thing that happened was They stopped arguing with each other and helped each other, the reward for this was they reached land, the good thing caused the reward because when they started to argue they weren't doing their jobs but when they stopped they were back and they reached land and if they did not work together the engine would stop then they would be stranded in the middle of the ocean.
