Parvana’s Journey (Breadwinner Series, 2) Paperback – May 1, 2015

This one tore my heart out. It was so sad. The main character lives on, though, and I am hooked on this story so I’m off to read the next book.

My daughter enjoyed this book at lot.It helped her understand what life is in Afghanistan.

My daughter and I loved this series and could not put it down. It was such a realistic portrayal of a young girl growing up in war torn Afghanistan. It was poignant and stirring. The characters are beautifully developed. Extremely well written.

I purchased this as I am teaching it in a Year 7 class this year. Through the iPad I can prepare notes to use in class and project the text onto the board to share the experience. This assists me to engage students and helps me trigger text analysis with electronic preparation.The novel itself is excellent. The character journey accompanied by the physical is a favourite of mine and Ellis does it well. The confusion and disjoint with reality experienced by the characters is palpable. The writing is a little simplistic and given the younger audience this can be effective. The themes and challenges presented in the text are what I really look forward to working with my class on. Ellis presents an horrific situation with compassion and understanding and asks us as readers to do the same. Given current global politics, this novel is still as pertinent today as when first written.

This is the sequel to The Breadwinner . My sixth grade English class reads this series every year and it is wonderful. You will fall in love with the main character, Parvana.

It’s great book for middle school students . My child love to read over an over again.

This is a great book. Deborah Ellis has written a book that cannot be predicted what happens next. There are twists and turns and at every cornervery good descriptions of the characters and objects in the book. For anyone looking for a good book to read to children (of all ages) I would recommend this book for you. All in all this is a great book for everyone

I'm a teacher who assigns this book to my students to read. The school doesn't provide the books so I buy them myself for my students. I like the used books for a better value. Fantastic book. Kids like the story and it is a great way to start a discussion about culture, freedoms, rights, values and how lucky Americans are. Good historical background on the Taliban. Make sure you also get the next three books in the series.
