One More River | Lynne Reid Banks

1 post | 1 read

Lesley lives in Canada and thinks life is just great, she has got friends, she likes school and they are very comfortably off. But then her father makes a fateful decision, the whole family is going to emigrate to Israel and lead a more fully Jewish life. Lesley is horrified and very resistant. However, once she gets to her new country and a very different life, she begins to find it stimulating and enjoyable. A strange relationship with Palestinian boy Mustafa, who lives on the other side of the Jordan river, is a big part of the new Lesley. A very exciting book, set in the 1960s about life in a pioneering new country.

I picked this up ages ago because I liked Lynne Reid Banks when I was a kid. It was my March #BookSpin and a #MiddleGradeMarchThroughTime book and I‘m finally reviewing it now🤦🏻‍♀️ The story follows a Canadian girl whose family moves to Israel just months before the Six-Day War in 1967. It was interesting to see her growth as she adjusts to life on a kibbutz, explores her Jewish/Israeli identity, and questions the implications of the conflict.
