Love this book. The story is extremely powerful and encourages reflection and empowerment. A good read for young adults to gain a new understanding of cultures around the world
Beautiful story about a young girl in Pakistan who defies sexist rules to continue her education!
This book was lovely. A hard story to read - Amal's childhood in Pakistan is turned upside down when she mouths back at someone at the market. Her father owes this man a considerable amount of money, and the man takes her as an indentured servant to repay the debt. She finds a found family in the other indentured servants, but that doesn't help the ache from missing her family. Books also become a main theme. Would recommend
