Oranges in No Man's Land

This story is set in war torn Beirut in Lebanon. Ayesha's mum is killed in a building blast, and Ayesha is left to assist her Granny care for her two brothers. This story is about their survival.

This novel is the 6th read for my read around the world reading challenge. I now have read books from the Israel, Lebanon, Rwanda, South Korea, Sudan and the United States.

The Kite Fighters

This is the second story I've read by Linda Sue Park, and I think I will look out for more titles by this author. The first was titled A Single Shard and my most recent, The Kite Fighters.

Both stories are set in Korea, and so this is another title read from my around the world reading challenge. This is story is much about two brothers growing up as well as the excitement and joy from flying kites. Highly recommend this short story.

5th title in my read around the world challenge.
