I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Delphine Minoui, Nojoud Ali

2.0

I realize this book is supposed to be somewhat written from the perspective of a 10-year-old girl, but there just wasn't very much there. I wanted to know more about the actual trial and the legal side of things. Considering this was only written a couple of months after the trial, I realize it couldn't have talked too much about the outcome, but I still think the actual trial itself could have gotten discussed more. Was so much of what happened really just luck? It came across as if Nujood didn't really know much about what was going on and just got lucky. Nujood's story is inspiring, but this book did not get that across.
