This was the saddest book I've ever read. The theme of the first book was hope, this one is the opposite. It's also better than the first.

A sequel to [b:The Breadwinner|828015|The Breadwinner|Deborah Ellis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178734129s/828015.jpg|1798108], Parvana's Journey continues Parvana's story, roaming through a Taliban-run Afghanistan trying to find her mother and siblings, and meeting other refugees along the way. This story has captivated my sixth grade students, and perhaps introduced them to a world where children are afraid to walk into a building or across the street for fear of stumbling over a land mine, or eating paper from a book because they're starving and at least it makes their belly feel full for a bit. Very moving. I cried at the end, but I cry at the end of almost every book.

Love love love this book, I've read it at least ten times it makes me cry and it opened my to the world around me. It really changed the way I saw the world, I used to think it was peaceful and simple but this book made me realized how sad and real the world is, this is a must read before you die!!
