Thanks to @kidlitexchange for sharing this read with me! #partner
Wow. I really really loved this one. Something about the writing style took me back to middle grade novels I read as a kid, but with the diversity of culture and characters that I wish I had been reading about.
SYNOPSIS:
Amal is a young girl in a village in Pakistan. She is he eldest child in her family, and because of that more is expected of her than any of her siblings. She dreams of becoming a teacher, but when unexpected events occur, her dreams are put on hold.
This book has short chapters that REALLY make the reader want to continue on. “Oh, just one more chapter” led to me reading this in one sitting. I would say this is perfect for older elementary school students. I love how much at learned about Pakistani culture through the story. I only wish I’d read this as a kid!
