An important coming of age story that explores identity, place, voice, and belonging.\n\nEvery time violence erupts in the Middle East, Ida knows what’s coming next. Some of her classmates treat her like it’s all her fault—just for being Palestinian! In eighth grade, Ida is forced to move to a different school. But people still treat her like she’ll never fit in.

Now she has to make some tough choices. Which Ida would she rather be? How can she find her place?\n\nIda’s dilemma becomes more frightening as the day approaches when Israeli bulldozers are coming to demolish another home in her family’s village…\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1623716861\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1623716861.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lester Murad, Nora\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
