Samir and Yonatan
by Daniella Carm
Samir, a Palestinian boy, awaits an operation in an Israeli hospital, trapped among the very people he blames for his brother's death. Yonatanm a vulnerable, bookish Israeli kid with a boundless imagination comes into his life — and nothing is the same again.
This is a story of violence and reconciliation, a story of enemies and friends. It is a searing "letter from the front" of the myriad conflicts in the Middle East.
This book dares readers to understand, and introduces memorably vivid characters who put a human face on a terrible struggle.
