Parvana’s father has died, and her mother, sister and brother have gone to a faraway wedding, not knowing what has happened to the father. Parvana doesn’t know where they are. She just knows she has to find them. She sets out alone, masquerading as a boy, her journey becoming more perilous as the bombs begin to fall. Making her way across the desolate Afghan countryside, she meets other children who are strays from the war ― an infant boy in a bombed-out village, a nine-year-old girl who believes she has magical powers over land mines, and a boy with one leg who is so obnoxious that Parvana can hardly stand him. The children travel together because it is easier than being alone. And, as they forge their own family in the war zone that Afghanistan has become, their resilience, imagination and luck help them to survive. The reissue includes a new cover and map, an updated author’s note and a glossary to provide young readers with background and context.

Review: A Powerful Story That Opened Up Important Conversations - I read this book with my 9-year-old brother, and I was so impressed by how it captivated him. The story of Parvana's journey is both heartbreaking and inspiring. It was amazing to see how interested he was in her survival, but more than that, it was deeply educational. It opened his eyes to a part of the world and a way of life he knew nothing about, leading to so many thoughtful questions. In the end, he absolutely loved Parvana's courage and is already asking for the next book in the series. A truly important read.
