Checkpoints
by Marilyn Levy.
Checkpoints introduces two very different teenage girls who, in the long run, may not be so different after all. Noa, a 17 year-old Israeli from a liberal Jewish family forms a tentative friendship with Maha, a Palestinian Muslim from East Jerusalem.
But, after a tragic incident changes Noa's family forever, Noa's beliefs about Palestinian and Israeli relations are challenged, and secrets are revealed that affect both of their lives, and test their blossoming relationship.
