Dog of Knots is an excellent choice but is sometimes difficult to obtain, as well. Jeremiah's Promise: An Adventure in Modern Israel - Ken Roseman - URJ Press 0807407879 is great for 4th/5th graders. It's one of the "choose your own adventure" series from URJ so it lends itself to a great discussion. URJ has discussion guides, too. A few others that come to mind that would be OK since it's a parent/child reading group (if read without parental interaction, these are too old for that grade level): Real Time - Pnina Moed Kass - Houghton Mifflin 9780618691746 Tasting the Sky: A Palestinian Childhood - Ibtisam Barakat - Farrar, Straus, Giroux 9780374357337 Three Wishes: Palestinian and Israeli Children Speak - Deborah Ellis - Groundwood Books 9780888996459 Stone in My Hand - Cathryn Clinton - Candlewick Press 9780763625610
