Description

The Wall is the concrete heart of the town of Amarias. You can only cross it at one checkpoint, where armed soldiers stand guard. One day, thirteen-year-old Joshua discovers a pitch-black tunnel that leads underneath The Wall. He's heard plenty of stories about the other side, and knows that a boy like him shouldn't venture into this forbidden territory. But he is compelled to go - and his world is about to be turned upside down ... A searing fable about a divided city, THE WALL is one boy's shocking and powerful journey to find his own sense of right and wrong.

Description

In an isolated town that closely resembles the West Bank, thirteen-year-old Joshua discovers that his world may not be as it seems; that his people may be aggressors rather than victims; and that he must stand up to his stepfather and forge his own sense of right and wrong.
