<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Deborah Ellis's enormously popular "Breadwinner" trilogy recounted the experiences of children living in Afghanistan; now Ellis turns her attention to the young people of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After visiting the region to conduct interviews, she presents their stories here -- in their own words. Twelve-year-old Nora, eleven-year-old Mohammad, and many others speak directly about their lives -- which prove to be both ordinary and extraordinary: They argue with their siblings. They hate spinach. They have wishes for the future. Yet they have also seen their homes destroyed and families killed, and live amidst constant upheaval and violence. <BR>This simple, telling book allows young readers everywhere to see that the children caught in this conflict are just like them -- but living far more difficult and dangerous lives. Without taking sides, it presents an unblinking portrait of children victimized by the endless struggle around them.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Deborah Ellis's enormously popular <i>Breadwinner</i> trilogy recounted the experiences of children living in Afghanistan; now Ellis turns her attention to the young people of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
