A Child's Life Under Terrorist Threat

Aviva lives in a kibbutz in Israel. When her long awaited piano arrives, it is too large to fit in her house either through the door or the window. Aviva is late to school that day, distracted by the problem of the piano. Suddenly there's an air raid and the children wait in a shelter as rockets buzz overhead.Chaikin was born in Jerusalem and now lives in New York City. This entertaining story is based on an actual event that happened when she was visiting a kibbutz family in Israel.The story is charming, amusing and different from the usual children's tale. It shows good coming from bad and is an important vision of contemporary life in Israel; a testimony to the courage and composure of a people who live with the constant threat and actuality of terrorist attack....

A great book!

This is a great book because it tells about the life on a kibbutz. It tells a story of a girl named Aviva, she has a problem though she has a piano and doesn't know how to get it in her house.
