This book is historical fiction. It takes place in Palestine in the 1988-89. It is set during an intifada which is a group of strikes and street demonstrations against Israeli soldiers. An 11-year old girls' father goes missing and she is devastated. There are multiple challenges this young girl faces due to this harsh time period. I am about half way done with the book and following her difficult life is interesting yet upsetting. I have gotten to a point where I am fighting for her because I want her to succeed.
I have never been a person who enjoys reading historical fiction. Realistic fiction was my thing, or so I thought. Until I picked up this book. I chose it for its intriguing plot line and unusual characters. I highly suggest this book for anyone who is looking for something knew. I had become bored with all the girl drama in my books so trying something new showed me a side of my interests I never knew I had.
