Now they have to turn the girl named parvanna into a boy and they have to cut her hair. Her sister Nooria is going to mazar to get married. Then her dad comes back out of jail.

I liked this book. Its not one of my favorites but its a fictional historical book cause this could happen weather u want it to or not

This book is about a family of four (a dad, a mom, and two sisters) who live in the country of Afghanistan. There, you can get seriously hurt or in trouble if you do something that the Taliban doesn't like. Suddenly, the dad is put in prison, and he was the family's only source of income as a reader and writer, since girls can't work. Then the family makes the young, pre-teen girl cut her hair like a boy's and work, because she can read and write. Her sister couldn't work since you can really tell that her sister is a girl, even if her hair was cut short. So this story is about a family struggling to hide their disobedience toward the Taliban.

I loved this book about a girl who lives in Afghanistan. She has to take care of her family when her dad is put in jail by the Taliban.
