Mud City, the third book in the Breadwinner Series switches from Parvana to Shauzia as main character. I found Shauzia to be likable but foolish, but that could be because I am an adult reading this book. I thought she was written too young for the 14 years she is during the story.
I did enjoy this book and want to finish the series. I think the author does a good job of making life in a refugee camp accessible to children, but is not for all children.
