I got this book through a swap on swap-bot and I'm not really interested. Let me know if you want it, I'll happily pass it along, no need to reciprocate:
Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones
Synopsis taken from its BC-page:
The only white man on the island of Bougainville becomes teacher to the local children while a civil war impacts on the lives around them. Mr. Watts introduces the children to Mister Dickens through the adventures of Pip in Great Expectations, but as the narrator, 13 year old Matilda, comes to consider Pip a personal friend, she inadvertently draws unwanted and dangerous attention to their little village.
