Ayesha has no idea why her country is at war with itself, but she knows that it is. Forced to leave their home in Southern Lebanon, Ayesha and her family become refugees in Beirut. Ayesha's father is out of the country, and when her mother is killed by bomb, she has no way of contacting him. Ayesha, her two little brothers and her grandmother, ill with severe hypertension, must shift for themselves. They find a corner of a bombed out flat, shared with a dozen other families, and do the best they can. Life is all about finding food and avoiding checkpoints and trying to remember which flags belong to the soldiers least likely to shoot at you.

I just wanted to say how much I love your site, Jill's reviews of kids books especially are so strong and well-written and are a big help when buying books or choosing the next to read.
