description: Did you ever wonder what life is like for someone your age in another country? Josh Clayton-Felt wondered, and he went to Israel to find out how Israeli teenagers live and how their life differs from our life here. What makes this story even more unusual is that the author is a teenager himself.Josh lived with an Israeli family in a town on the Mediterranean and experienced the daily life of an Israeli teen. Josh spent a great deal of time talking with young people, and what he conveys in this book are his observations, thoughts, and feelings about the life of Israeli young people - a life, in many ways, similar to that of teens in this country, and in other ways, very different. Along with Josh's comments are interviews with young men and women. They speak out about the world they live in - the tension of being in a country surrounded by hostile neighbors, the army experience, their friendships and relationships with parents, and the future. Share Josh's unique experience and learn not only about what young people do and feel in another culture, but also discover, as Josh did, more about yourself and your society.
