A World Between Us (enhanced e-book)

Spirited young nurse Felix shakes off her restrictive family and conventional upbringing to follow her heart and her political convictions to Spain, to support the Republican cause in the Spanish Civil War, in this exciting historical romance from Lydia Syson published in multi-touch iBook format for iPad.

As well as the story itself, the iBook edition includes a whole range of fascinating material to help readers further explore the period through images, audio and video. Incorporating first-hand accounts of the Spanish Civil War, video interviews with both the author and historians, personal letters, photographs and even music from the time, it aims to immerse young readers in the world of the story.

Offering plenty of starting points for further research or discussion, and the facility for readers to make notes on the text as they go along, this would make an excellent tool for teaching history at KS3 or KS4, as well as being a compelling story of politics, love and passion that teenagers will enjoy reading in its own right.
