Review:

What would you do if a renegade group of young girls kidnapped you right in front of your mother and chastised you about your traditional clothing and how you were showing skin? How would you handle, as a young child, being told what you must do in case a chemical bomb exploded in a city you lived in? These are just a few of the experiences shared by author Nioucha Homayoonfar.

Young readers are invited into the world of a young girl whose life had been turned upside down. Things don’t always stay the same and as a result we must adapt. Parents and teachers can use this guide as a tool for teaching tolerance, revolution, history, religion and most importantly self-identification.
