Amal Unbound
by Aisha Saeed
Amal's story is heartrending yet hopeful. While not as horrific as the realities that many young girls have faced in their quest for education, the author is able to convey the reality of indentured servitude without compromising the accessibility to younger readers.
Amal Unbound is a fast-paced read for multiple age groups. I enjoyed it as an adult, but it would be appropriate for skilled readers in upper elementary school. The author has given us a brave and inspiring but, more importantly, realistic title character and surrounded her with a three-dimensional supporting cast. I am really excited to add this book to my classroom library and have a feeling this will be a popular read among my students. Who wouldn't check out a book with such an amazing cover?
