One More River: Lynne Reid Banks

The story of a rich girl's struggle to adapt to a new life in an Israeli kibbutz. Lesley can't believe it when her father announces they're moving to Israel - how can he be so cruel!? Here is Lesley's journey from Canada to the Kibbutz on the River Jordan. And with the approach of the Six Day War, her secret acquaintance with an Arab boy across the Jordan threatens her hard-won acceptance by her new Israeli classmates. From the author of the brilliant and best-selling The L-Shaped Room.
