In post-Taliban Afghanistan, fifteen-year-old Parvana waits for foreign military forces to determine her fate. Reunited with her mother and sisters, she has been living in a village where her mother has finally managed to open a school for girls. It's the life Parvan has been dreaming of. But this is Afghanistan, the war is far from over, and many continue to view the education of girls and women with suspicion and fear. And that means Parvana - and her family - are in danger.

[Parvana] represents those millions of girls all around the world who have no voice of their own. (Jo Cotterill)
The story feels realistic and the writing moves at a gallop (Alex O'Connell (Children's book of the week), The Times)
This is a compelling and riveting page-turner that is harrowing, inspiring and thought provoking throughout (Lucy Carlton-Walker, The School Librarian)
... ideal for older readers to gain some insight into the complexities of life in Afghanistan. (Annalise Taylor, Carousel)
I really felt Parvana's sense of danger and how she felt about being separated from her family. I think this book is suitable for all age groups although its topic is quite serious. (Paige Sluice, Teen Titles)
