The Girl in the Plastic Cage by Marilyn Levy

Hello Select your address Books Hello, Sign in. I would recommend this book to readers 10-14. Girl in The Plastic Cage by Levy, Marilyn. Run for Your Life: Levy, Marilyn: 9780698116085: Books - Amazon.ca. There is a bit of romance but nothing that would put off even a very young reader. I enjoyed the story and felt like I learned a bit without feeling like I was stuck in an afterschool special.Īppropriateness: There is no adult content in this book. If Noa was 12 or 14 this story would speak more to that audience. I felt like the story was not complex enough for older teen readers and is really written for the middle grade audience. A young, intelligent girl wishes she can change her looks-to be as beautiful as her sister.When a car accident leaves her with severe facial injuries, she has her chance. My only real problem with the book was Noa's age.

While the story follows Noa who is a Jew we learn a little bit about the Palestinian viewpoint from her friendship with Maha and how complicated the situation really is. This was a very good book that will help kids get a basic understanding of the situation in Israel. This is the start of an unusual friendship. When an incident happens locking down her sister's college campus Noa and her sister let an Arab girl stay with them in her dorm room. Noa lives in constant fear of suicide bombers and is frightened by Arabs in general. Checkpoints by Marilyn Levy tells the story of seventeen year old Noa who lives in Israel.
