    When I read this book, I realized that my life was a dream compared to hers! The book touched my heart and made tears trickle down my cheeks a little. The book was just...just so loving, you couldn't possibly turn it down.

    Parvana's Journey is one of those books that allows you to reflect to what reality is now. Parvana is a afghan girl who just lost her father from a bombing on their village. She knows she has more family than just her father, so she goes on a journey to find her mother and her siblings. In another bombed village she hears the sound of a baby, she takes the baby along with her on her journey. She meets other children that have suffered just the same as any child in afghanistan and they accompany her on her journey.This book has been a major page turner and I recommend it to younger people and adults. It shows that there is a sign of hope everywhere, even in places as horrible as Afghanistan.

    Parvanna was a very strong character. I cannot believe the things that the children of Afganistan have to endure.

    Parvana's Journey

    Parvana’s Journey was a good book. I thought it was funny how Asif would always go with Parvana just to bug her. I think Asif does actually like Parvana, but he just tries to hide it from everyone. I also liked how in the book they would keep on picking up characters in Parvana’s Journey. My favorite character is Asif because he has some humor and he is really stubborn some times and I can be stubborn. I would recommend this book to anyone.
