Parvana's Journey by Deborah Ellis

4.0

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.
