A Little Piece of Ground

by Elizabeth Laird

12 year-old Karim Karim longs to play football outside with his friends. But constant danger prevents him from venturing out.

Why I love reading…

I love reading because I believe in every story/novel there is a message.

Most of the books I read have a message that 'there is always hope' or 'You are not alone'.
