Description
A Little Piece of Ground 15th Anniversary Edition by Elizabeth Laird In the midst of conflict and curfew, life is reduced to small moments of freedom. For twelve-year-old Karim Aboudi, being stuck inside with his family is driving him crazy. But when the curfew ends, he and his friend discover a perfect spot for a football pitch - an unused patch of ground that's been hidden under bulldozed buildings. Danger lurks around every corner in this city, even for schoolboys like Karim. When Israeli soldiers find him outside during the next curfew, it seems impossible that he will survive. This heart-stopping and sensitive exploration of life as a child in war-torn Ramallah is a powerful reminder of the human cost of conflict. With its vivid portrayal of life under siege, A Little Piece of Ground is a powerful and moving story about the resilience of childhood in the face of adversity.
