Parvana's Journey by Deborah Ellis

BATB score: 8.5/10 🥺

Best to: know that it's about a 12-year-old Afghan girl traveling alone on foot, drinking from muddy streams, and eating pages of a book to survive #cry

Best for: Deborah Ellis' fans - you must have read "The Breadwinner" prior to considering this sequel

Best as: a reminder that escaping from the Taliban and trying not to die (eating grass), is the exact duck-up world we are living in right now 🦆

Would you have survived? All alone at 12-years-old? Having seen your family blown up from air missiles right in front of you? what's the plan?
