Breadwinner!
I started the Breadwinner last night because I think I want to use it for my guided reading in my other class, and i couldn't put it down! (becoming a pattern with these YA books!) I was slow to get in to it, but once I got to the part where her father was taken away I couldn't stop! I like how Ellis incorporates the history of the country as well as the positive attributes of the people, because in our media today, Afghanistan gets a pretty bad rap. I am about ten pages away from finishing and I can't wait to see if she finds her family!

OMgoodness! Ten pages away from the end? You ARE a voracious reader Casey. If you have the inclincation, I STRONGLY urge you to also read PART II Parvana's Journey. (Honestly, I know you would love all three parts of the trilogy, but I don't want you to get too behind on your other studies!)
ReplyDeleteCasey! I am going to be reading this book down the line, so I am so happy that you are enjoying it so much! I haven't been thrilled with my first two, so I am really looking forward to this now! Have you read The Kite Runner? The description sounds familiar to me, and I absolutely LOVED that book! I bet you would too :o)
