There aren't reliable sources and this topic is not notable (fails WP:NBOOK). Interstellarity (talk) 13:35, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per NBOOK the book is notable and reviewed. Lightburst (talk) 14:31, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, meets WP:NBOOK and WP:GNG, in addition to reviews listed above (thanks to Haukurth and Lightburst :)), there are reviews by BookTrust - "Set in an unnamed country, this is a timely and important book which illuminates the realities of life as a refugee.", The Sunday Times (subscription required) - "Children’s book of the week: Boy 87 by Ele Fountain", The Guardian - "Children’s and teens roundup: the best new picture books and novels - Full of tension, fear, heartbreak and hope, it conveys both the bitterness of having family, home and identity stolen away piecemeal, and a courageous determination to survive." (a snip), i do, however, suggest that the article title be changed from Refugee 87, the US title and published 4 june 2018, to Boy 87, the English title and published 5 april 2018 as Fountain is an english author and it was first published there.
