The White Zone
by Carolyn Marsden
Two cousins, Talib and Nouri, grow up in Baghdad during the Iraq war, and the conflict between Sunni and Shia families pulls them apart. The chapters switch between the two boys, so young readers see both sides. It is a moving, thoughtful story about how war affects children, and about hoping for a peaceful place where everyone belongs.
