This is a solid story that will ring true to readers for many years to come." -- School Library JournalWords in the Dust"An inside look at an ordinary Afghanistan family trying to survive in extraordinary times, it is both heart-wrenching and timely." -- Kirkus Reviews"Infused with poetry, and wrought with hardship, the story gives a bleak, but ultimately hopeful, portrayal of girlhood in Afghanistan. It is full of hard truths, painful lessons, beautiful human interaction, and the promise of possibility." -- School Library Journal"Reedy's narrative offers hope and will go a long way toward helping readers understand the people behind the headlines." -- Publishers Weekly
