The Story of My Life: An Afghan Girl on the Other Side of the Sky by Farah Ahmedi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
For middle and high school readers. A memoir of one girl’s story from Kabul to Wheaton with the help of World Relief, a story that recognizes the complexity of war, explores the trauma of surviving, and expresses gratitude for the generosity and kindness of strangers. The narrative invites readers to bear witness and then do further inquiry into the conflicts and systems that Farah endured. The writing is accessible to all teen readers.#bookaday #sbc2016
