Beskrivning
It’s time to choose: friendship, family or loyalty to the cause.When Emer Davey saves her neighbour Jack Madigan from drowning, it seems that they will be friends forever. But eight months later, they find themselves on opposite sides in a life-or-death struggle, as Dublin is torn apart by the Easter Rising.Emer’s father is an officer in the Irish Volunteers who believes that armed rebellion is the only way to gain independence from Britain. His daughter has inherited his passion and is determined to help the rebels in any way she can.Jack’s dad is a sergeant in the Dublin Metropolitan Police. They share a deep respect for the law and are sure that Home Rule can be achieved through peaceful politics and helping with the war effort.  These two young friends find their loyalties challenged as the terrifying reality of war sets in – and the Rising hits closer to home than either could have imagined.'Beautiful writing' Sunday Independent on Stormclouds

Recensioner i media

a great book for children looking to learn about the Easter Rising through fiction. Gallagher has created a thought-provoking and informative read, with just enough historical facts without letting the storyline buckle under the weight of heavy subject matter … A great book for both the school-room and for people with an interest in the time period themselves, Friend or Foe is a balanced, refreshing and entertaining book that stands out amongst so many others. Highly recommend
