Oranges in No Man's Land, written by Elizabeth Laird and illustrated by Gary Blythe, is the moving story of a young girl trying to help her family amid the crisis of civil war. 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.

Only militiamen and tanks dare enter this deadly zone, but when Granny falls desperately ill Ayesha sets off on a terrifying journey to reach a doctor living in enemy territory.
