Description
A Strange Land by Alan Gibbons is a powerful and poignant narrative about intolerance, racism, and standing up to bullies. In this gripping story, a new student named Hassan faces hostility from the school's bully group, known as the Blokes, who target him for being different. Jack must decide whether to stand up for his friend or remain silent in the face of pressure. This book is particularly suitable for readers who struggle with reading or have experienced bullying themselves. It tackles difficult themes in a way that is easy to understand and relatable. With its concise 64 pages, it's an ideal choice for reluctant readers aged 12+. By exploring these tough issues, Gibbons creates a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like an outsider or been targeted by bullies.
