A seventeen-year-old from Jerusalem, Tal Levine comes from a family that always believed peace would come to the Middle East. She cried tears of joy when President Clinton and Yitzhak Rabin shook hands with Yasser Arafat in 1993-a moment of hope that would stay with her forever. But when a terrorist explosion kills a young woman at a café in Jerusalem, something changes for Tal. One day she writes a letter, puts it in a bottle, and sends it to Gaza-to the other side-beginning a correspondence with a young Palestinian man that will ultimately open their eyes to each other's lives and hearts.
Editorial : From School Library Journal Grade 6–8—Told primarily through emails, this is the story of two young people on opposite sides of a political chasm: Naïm is Palestinian and lives in Gaza, and Tal is Israeli and lives in Jerusalem. Brought up in a family committed to Israeli-Palestinian peace, 17-year-old Tal writes a note, puts it in a bottle, and asks her brother, who is serving in the Israeli army, to throw the bottle into the sea in Gaza. Instead, he places it in the sand on the beach, and it is picked up by Naïm. Thus begins the email correspondence between "Gazaman" and "Bakbouk." As they slowly feel each other out, the teens begin to develop trust, friendship, and perhaps even something more. Their thoughts about their lives and about the political situation are carefully presented, and their musings and growing relationship constitute the central action of the novel. This smooth and unobtrusive translation starts out slowly and takes nearly one hundred pages
I've now purchased this book twice because of the content only to find the binding fell apart both times.. Maybe someone with basic knowledge can find it as a good overview, and an overview, with just the facts is all it is. He notes that businesses today must respond to numerous pressures, including natural disasters, disease, accidents, power failures, political upheavals, terrorist attacks, economic crises, etc. Each book is about 80 pages long and all are full of visuals. Some of the stories were so abstract they were hard to understand, but if you are someone who likes to read between the lines to find deeper meaning you would probably really enjoy it.
A couple of the stories that really spoke to me I will highlight here for you. A compelling read!. Just know what you plan to do before purchase.. There are some captions but too brief. Rosentraub should
be called in, before they sink their precious tax dollars into this black hole. Also, I think arranging crystals
