Items related to Stormclouds: New Friends. Old Differences.
Big changes are coming to late-Sixties Belfast. At first life seems normal for Sammy and Maeve, children from the opposing republican and loyalist communities. Sammy tries to avoid trouble with his unemployed father, while Maeve has lived with her aunt and uncle since her mother's death. When twins Dylan and Emma Goldman move from Washington D.C. to Belfast they strike up friendships with Maeve and Sammy. But even as they have fun at local sports clubs, attend the Goldman's barbeques, and secretly make their own radio programs, Maeve and Sammy can't ignore the trouble that is slowly gripping the country. And when the simmering tensions in Northern Ireland erupt into violence, it threatens not just their friendships, but their very lives. "This accurate depiction of violence in a familiar and seemingly benign area will surprise and educate many - a worthy accomplishment."--Kirkus Reviews.
