Everything To Live For: A Story From Northern Ireland

Thirteen-year-old Lizzie McCallum is a Protestant living in Northern Ireland.

She has seen her fair share of the troubles, and she is used to being taunted by the boys from the local Catholic school.

Lizzie's family hates Catholics, especially since Uncle Jim was killed.

On an ordinary Saturday in August, 1998, Lizzie's world is blown apart when she finds herself at the centre of a tragic bombing incident in the high street.

Lizzie has always thought she was on the right side, but she finds out that bombs do not discriminate - they kill innocent people - from both sides.Containing detailed background information, involving real events intertwined with the life of the central fictional character, this story aims to bring the horrors of living through a terrorist attack vividly to life.This title supports the Key Stage 3 History National Curriculum, where Northern Ireland is a suggested topic in "a world study after 1900".
