From award-winning and beloved children's author Elizabeth Laird comes a stunning edition of Oranges in No Man's Land, with a cover illustration by Hanae Kai, an author letter and additional content from the author, including discussion notes.

Since her father left Lebanon to find work and her mother tragically died in a shell attack, ten-year-old Ayesha has been living in the bomb-ravaged city of Beirut with her granny and her two younger brothers. The city has been torn in half by civil war and a desolate, dangerous no man's land divides the two sides.
