<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this trilogy, a family comes up with a unique solution to the problem of losing their breadwinner, families survive in war-torn Afghanistan, and a young girl survives alone with only a dog in the streets of Pakistan.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Deborah Ellis' trilogy has been a phenomenal success, both critically and commercially. Now young readers can experience this entire epic story in one volume. <i>The Breadwinner</i> is set in Afghanistan, where 11-year-old Parvana lives with her family in a bombed-out apartment building in Kabul. When her father is arrested for the crime of having a foreign education, the family is left with no money or resources. Forbidden to earn money as a girl, Parvana must transform herself into a boy and become the breadwinner. In <i>Parvana's Journey, </i> her father has died and the family has scattered. Parvana, now 13 years old, is determined to find them. Again masquerading as a boy, she joins a group of wandering children, all refugees from war, who exist mainly on courage. In <i>Mud City, </i> the focus shifts to 14-year-old Shauzia, who lives in the Widows' Compound in Pakistan and dreams of escaping to a new life in France. Deborah Ellis uses simple, compelling language, memorable characters, and a wealth of imaginative detail in this wrenching look at the human cost of war that is also a surprisingly hopeful story of survival.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Nominated for the Jane Addams Children's Book Award, 2004</b> <p/>A great kids' book...a graphic geopolitical brief that's also a girl-power parable.<i>--Newsweek</i> <p/>...hands-down, Newberry Medal worthy...This was a fantastic read.<i>--Washington Times</i> <p/>This is an important and compelling story for young people...<i>--Today's Librarian</i> <p/><br>
