Synopsis

A series of six fiction titles that invites young readers aged 11-14 years to enter the fragile worlds of children living in contemporary war zones. Every day, in an increasing number of countries, children are desperately trying to survive as their families and their whole way of life is destroyed by war. This new series is a tribute to such children, and the themes of courage, determination, triumph and perseverance will inspire, challenge and engage young readers, creating greater cross-cultural understanding and informed empathy. Through My Eyes 2: Amina by Jessica Powers Amina lives on the edges of Mogadishu. Her family's house has been damaged in Somalia's long civil war, but they continue to live there, reluctant to leave home. Amina's world is shattered when government forces come to arrest her artist father and then rebel forces kidnap Amina's brother. She reacts by creating street art to give herself a sense of hope and to share with people all over the city who hope for a better, more secure future.
