This review can also be found on The StoryGraph.

7/10, this was an enjoyable novel despite it being less than 100 pages yet it still manages to be a well executed one albeit being rather heartbreaking. It starts off with the main character Parvana living with her family but she lives in Taliban controlled Afghanistan in 2001 which is just an awful place to live there but anyways some Taliban soldiers arrive to interrogate her father and take him away and she would do anything to find him again. Towards the middle of the book she disguises herself and goes off alone continuing on her quest, financially supporting herself and meeting some other characters along the way however I also liked how her father explained the backstory of Afghanistan so creatively and the power of stories as well. In the last part she eventually does find her father; this moment soon turns bittersweet as he passes right in front of her eyes before she talks about the power of stories and people again ending the story, besides that the colour palette and art style look pleasing to the eyes and feels like a realistic artists' impression of a town in Afghanistan. I'm surprised that I've never even heard of this story until I picked it up and of course it was worth reading though the original novel could be just as good. ( )

This novella length book is the first in a post-apocalyptic trilogy, and is a good start to what promises to be an interesting series. Some readers may think that at 139 pages it couldn’t possibly set the scene for a gripping trilogy, and those readers would be wrong.

This type of post-apocalyptic themed novel seems to be all around us at the moment, but in this debut novel I found something I hadn’t come across before, a complete storyline and some very relatable characters. The main protagonist is a strong man faced with unenviable choices and following a course of actions he may have thought himself incapable of before the collapse of the world he knows. Through a skilful use of writing and rich development of the characters, this Author is able to give this books readers a thoroughly emotionally charged and realistic journey through their trials and tribulations.

The situations the Author places her characters in are well described and thought through to the point the reader is made to think and examine the way they would react in the same circumstances, and as I have said in previous reviews I do like a book that makes me think.

Although I am not a big fan of zombie novels, I am looking forward to reading the remainder of this trilogy and would, therefore recommend it to anyone who enjoys this genre of book or is an avid viewer of The Walking Dead.

This book is about a young girls, whose father goes to jail. During this time girls, were not allowed to work. She decides to disguise herself as a young boy so that she is able to provide for her family. While this story is disheartening due to the fathers arrest it shows the strength of the young girl. She decides to be outspoken of her heart and use her voice to do the right thing. I would use this book as a read aloud because of the topics that it discusses. ( )

Parvana es una chica de once años que vive con su familia en Kabul, la capital de Afganistán, durante la época del gobierno talibán. Cuando su padre es detenido, su familia -sin recursos para poder vivir-, buscará una solución desesperada: Parvana, que por ser mujer tiene prohibido ganar dinero, deberá transformarse en un chico y trabajar. Primero, leyendo la correspondencia en el mercado a la gente que es analfabeta y, poco después, vendiendo también tabaco con otra chica disfrazada. Mientras, su familia marcha a Mazar a casar a la hija mayor. Pero la ciudad, que estaba en manos de los rebeldes, es tomada por los talibanes, quedando atrapados allí. El padre de Parvana sale de la cárcel y ambos emprenden viaje para reunirse con ellas.
