His father, Abed, gets word of the crash and rushes to the site. The scene is chaos - the children have been taken to different hospitals in Jerusalem and the West Bank; some are missing, others cannot be identified. Abed sets off on an odyssey to learn Milad's fate. It is every parent's worst nightmare, but for Abed it is compounded by the maze of physical, emotional, and bureaucratic obstacles he must navigate because he is Palestinian. He is on the wrong side of the separation wall, holds the wrong ID to pass the military checkpoints, and has the wrong papers to enter the city of Jerusalem. Abed's quest to find Milad is interwoven with the stories of a cast of Jewish and Palestinian characters whose lives and histories unexpectedly converge: a kindergarten teacher and a mechanic who rescue children from the burning bus; an Israeli army commander and a Palestinian official who confront the aftermath at the scene of the crash; a settler paramedic; ultra-Orthodox emergency service workers; and two mothers who each hope to claim one severely injured boy. Immersive and gripping, this is an indelibly human portrait of the Jewish-Palestinian struggle that offers a new understanding of the tragic history and reality of one of the most contested places on earth. --Adapted from publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 956.053 Th Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.053 Thrall Checked out 05/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 956.053 Th Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.053 Th item being mended   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.053 Th Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.053 Th Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.053 Th Checked out 05/04/2024 Add Copy to MyList
