I thought is was a great story, and it certainly had a lot of cliffhangers that made me want to read on. I can't wait to read Mud City to find out what happens next.

I didn’t like this one as much as the first. It’s much more bleak, which is purposeful but still not fun to read. It feels far more repetitive than the first book and Parvana has less agency in the story now. Again, this was likely done up purpose, but it doesn’t make for the best read. I also can’t stand Asif. He’s so rude, and for what? That said, I still love Parvana and look forward to continuing her story.

Parvana makes a fairly graphic journey through war torn Afghanistan with other children she finds on her way. There is very little hope in this novel, and has some disturbing scenes of war. It is, however, a good look into the hardships of children in conflict areas.

A sequel to [b:The Breadwinner|828015|The Breadwinner|Deborah Ellis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178734129s/828015.jpg|1798108], Parvana's Journey continues Parvana's story, roaming through a Taliban-run Afghanistan trying to find her mother and siblings, and meeting other refugees along the way. This story has captivated my sixth grade students, and perhaps introduced them to a world where children are afraid to walk into a building or across the street for fear of stumbling over a land mine, or eating paper from a book because they're starving and at least it makes their belly feel full for a bit. Very moving. I cried at the end, but I cry at the end of almost every book.
