Discounted copies of Welcome to Nowhere

ReadingZone is offering specially discounted sets of Elizabeth Laird's new novel, Welcome to Nowhere (Macmillan Children's Books), to help schools to share this powerful and timely story with their pupils.

ELIZABETH LAIRD is no stranger to conflict and the damage inflicted on civilians by warfare and her latest novel, WELCOME TO NOWHERE, follows a family caught up in the war in Syria. You can read an interview with Elizabeth Laird, talking about Welcome to Nowhere, via the link, below. The story follows Omar and his brother Musa, who has cerebral palsy, as they and their family are forced to flee their home and other safe havens within Syria until they find themselves living as refugees in Za'atari, an overcrowded refugee camp in Jordan. Jordan is now home to one million Syrian refugees. Laird's earlier novels, including Kiss the Dust and Oranges in No Man's Land, explore how war affects civilians in regional conflicts. In Welcome to Nowhere, a powerfully understated story, she also reminds us that the Syrian refugees - so often perceived as numbers and statistics - are people like us; ordinary people with families, hopes and needs.
