Joshua is thirteen. He lives with his mother and stepfather in
Amarias, an isolated town on top of a hill, where all the houses
are brand new. At the edge of Amarias is a high wall, guarded by
soldiers, which can only be crossed through a heavily fortified
checkpoint. Joshua has been taught that beyond the concrete is a
brutal and unforgiving enemy, and that The Wall is the only thing
keeping him and his people safe. One day, looking for a lost
football, Joshua stumbles across a tunnel which leads towards this
forbidden territory. He knows he won't get another opportunity to
see what is beyond The Wall until he's old enough for military
service, and the chance to crawl through and solve the mystery is
too tempting to resist. He's heard plenty of stories about the
other side, but nothing has prepared him for what he finds...The
Wall is a novel about a boy who undertakes a short journey to
another world, to a place where everything he knows about loyalty,
identity and justice is turned upside down. It is also a political
fable that powerfully evokes the realities of life on the West
Bank, telling the story of a Settler child who finds there are two
sides to every story.
