Book of Trees
A bit more on the last book. Could have used a bit more clarity on the issues behind the Israel/Palestinian conflict, including the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Mia (due to go to college) looks at one pro-Palestinian account. Others had a reason to think she was uninformed and it hurt the reader's respect of the character.
