(3) 4-6 After losing her father to violence, Malaak, an eleven-year-old Palestinian, desperately wants to protect her older brother and keep him from joining the Islamic jihad. Set in Gaza City during the late 1980s, the novel provides no easy answers but effectively captures the challenges of daily life in the war-ravaged region and the immense loss shared by Malaak's entire community.
