The Wall by William Sutcliffe
"Which Side Are You On?"
Despite
only living in Amarias for the past four years, the imposing presence
of the Wall was not something Joshua thought about every day. Not when
he had a bully for a stepfather and no friends to speak of. For Joshua,
this walled city was a strange place to live, with its quiet, patrolled
streets and uniform buildings, he was hard pressed to find anything or
even anyone, he liked in this town. Since moving to Amarias all he has
ever wanted was to leave, and then one day Joshua finds a tunnel that
leads him under the wall and what he sees on the other side will change
his life.
The Wall
segregates all those who are different, all those who are dangerous,
from those who belong. But as Joshua soon learns, the world is not
always black and white and not everyone outside the Wall is an enemy,
just like not all those within the Wall are safe to be around. This is
not the story of a revolution, the Wall will not crumble and the world
will not be changed by the actions of one person, however one person's
world will be forever changed. A story of one boy, the Wall that divides
and a hope for the future.
