Beautiful and heartbreaking. Parvana lives in the Taliban's Afghanistan. When her father is arrested, she must disguise herself as a boy to support her mother and siblings.

I can't tell if it's fiction or non-fiction because everything happening in the book is real and happens everyday. I love this book so much!

The graphic novel left out most of the story and the struggle of Pervana. The drawings were fine, but did not convey everything they should have.

A graphic novel about a family in Afghanistan who are struggling to survive. As the conditions of the family worsens, Parvana stepped up to help her family and bring his Baba home.
A touching story almost cried at the end, even though the book is meant to a younger reader, short, but long enough to depict the whole lesson of the story.

A stunning graphic adaptation of the novel. I would love to have my students compare the original novel with this graphic companion. Ellis’ story is powerful and moving no matter how it is presented to readers.
