30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are brought to life in stories and poems by 14 writers - some very well known, including Malorie Blackman, Margaret Mahy, David Almond, Jamila Gavin and Eoin Colfer - in aid of Amnesty International. The material is wonderfully varied: from the hilarious story of a Ghanian boy scout arrested for seeming to have burgled and worn the Crown Jewels, to tender stories of family relationships and dispossession in Ramallah, homelessness in India, and a haunting poem recalling events in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. This is an entertaining and thought-provoking collection.
