Query: an excellent read

This book by Elizabeth Laird is supposedly written about the Palestine area from the eyes of a young Palestinian boy. It is extemely well written. The story gets ahold of you and won't let you go. It tells of the way these boys have to live in their area to get by during the war/occupation etc. of Jewish tanks etc. We seldom hear this side of the story, but it is there for us to read. I enjoyed it.J. Robert Ewbank author "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the 'Isms'"
