Elizabeth stayed on the green line in Beirut in 1977 in a war-damaged flat with her husband and six-month-old son. Memories of her son sleeping in a suitcase on the floor, taking his first steps on the bullet-riddled balcony, playing with the soldiers on the checkpoint, and her husband racing through no man's land in the buildup to a battle have all inspired this gripping and moving story.</p><p>Elizabeth Laird says, "When I wrote <em>Oranges in No Man's Land</em>, I didn't know that Lebanon would be plunged back so soon into a nightmare. Caught up in that nightmare are children like Ayesha and Samar, whose lives political leaders so easily throw away."</p><p><strong>Elizabeth Laird</strong> has been nominated four times for the Carnegie Medal and has won both the Nestle Smarties Book Prize and the Children's Book Award (UK). Her numerous books, including <em>A Little Piece of Ground</em> (Haymarket Books, 2006), have been published around the world.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Multiple award-winning novelist Elizabeth Laird is the author of numerous children's books based on themes of social inequality.
