## Description

Oranges in No Man’s Land tells the riveting story of ten-year-old Ayesha’s terrifying journey across no man’s land to reach a doctor in hostile territory in search of medicine for her dying grandmother. Set in Lebanon during the civil war, this story is told by award-winning author Elizabeth Laird and is based on personal, real-life events. 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. Elizabeth Laird says, “When I wrote Oranges in No Man’s Land , 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.” Elizabeth Laird has been nominated four times for the Carnegie Medal and has won both the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize and the Children’s Book Award (UK). Her numerous books, including A Little Piece of Ground (Haymarket Books, 2006), have been published around the world.

Review: Amazing - Amazing. Sad ending though. I cried. Read cause it is so good. Good for ages 10+ though fine for adults.
Review: A great book to read to your child - A fantastic read aloud book for a 6-10 year old. A 10 year old girl protagonist risks her life in a war zone to help her grandmother. Lot's of warm loving characters, lots of adventure, some terribly sad moments but it is never too gory or scary. A great book to read with a child and discuss war and its effects. Very moving, should be up there in the classics of children's literature.
