The Isreali/Palestinian Conflict is not simply a battle between two opposing countries--it's a conflict between two groups of people who are close enough- and are--neighbors. "Checkpoint" is a novel of growing relationships--and how those relationships can tear a family apart. The Shaprios are split by loyalties of friendship on both sides of the cause, and must figure out a way to remain a family all while staying loyal to their friends in this deftly written look at the conflict from the fictional perspective of a family torn asunder--"Checkpoint" is highly recommended to community library collections dedicated to world fiction and fiction focusing on current events.
