After a terror attack takes place, they are trapped in their home, bound by a strict curfew enforced by the Israeli military.\n.\nLike any other child, Karim longs to play football with his mates – not to be stuck inside with his teenage brother and fearful parents.\nWhen the curfew ends, he and his friend discover an unused patch of ground that's the perfect site for a football pitch. Nearby, an old car hidden intact under bulldozed buildings makes a brilliant den.\nBut in this city there's constant danger, even for schoolboys. And, when Israeli soldiers find Karim outside during the next curfew, it seems impossible that he will survive.\n'A fine book, and a daring book' – Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse\n'This book must go down as a brave, serious and successful attempt to reach out and have this story heard' – Michael Rosen, poet and author","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49569393967392,"sku":"9781509887637","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781509887637.jpg?v=1785232917","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/little-piece-of-ground-elizabeth-laird-9781509887637","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
