Week four. Topic 2

If you liked reading Parvana I know a few other books that you also might like. First of all, would not go passed the sequel, Parvana's Journey. It has the same conflict as the novel Parvana because Afghanistan is still being controlled by the Taliban and Parvana's family are still lost. It is about a young girl named Parvana on a massive search all over Afghanistan looking for her family. She is not alone because after a while she meets a few other children who join in the search for her family. It is a great book filled with excitement and conflict. 

Shauzia is another book I would recommend. If you like Deborah Ellis and liked both Parvana and Parvana's Journey then this is the book for you. It is about Parvana's friend that she used to go to school with who is trying to escape from Afghanistan into France. At the start of the book she has made it to Pakistan and is staying in a refugee camp. It shows her great determination to get her final goal. I still shows the impact of poor people in third world countries and how lucky you are to be privileged in a wealthy country.

The last book I would recommend Morris Gleitznoman book, Boy Overboard. It is about two boys who have a dream of playing soccer. Unfortunately, they live in Afghanistan where it is very hard for them to peruse their dream. They have to go to extraordinary lengths to get what they want. They face different threats than Parvana did in her book. They have to avoids pirates, storms, assassins and much more. 

I hope you can check out one of the books I have recommended.
