A Thousand Questions by Saadia Faruqi
5.0
Review copy: Digital ARC via Netgalley
This is a fabulous story of family, identity, friendship and going after dreams. Mimi and Sakina appear to have very different lives, but they learn a lot from each other and inspire each other to do hard things. I loved getting to see Karachi from both an insider and outsider point of view. I have to admit that I am jealous of young people today having the ability to use the Internet to see the setting of a book using Google Maps and other resources. I had no real images in my head of Karachi and the book was really immersive.
Saadia Faruqi made me care about these young people and I flew through the book. I can't wait to share it with my students.
