In this sequel to The Breadwinner, we pick up at Parvana's father's funeral. Paravana and her father had been on the search for the rest of their family who had gone so that Nooria could get married. Along the way Parvana meets three other children. As they travel together you see all the struggles that people are currently having in the real Afghanistan. Hunger, bombing, disease, the author makes it so that it's like you are there, seeing these things yourself. Reading this book makes me feel bad about every time I've complained about food, or thrown it away without finishing it. The ending was a little sad, but also very happy. I a, so excited to read the next book.
