COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Wonderful Teen Read for Girls submitted by ChallngOfTheStrs on June 16, 2017, 5:35pm I absolutely loved this book. I found it an enlightening read for girls in America; Shabanu's culture in rural Pakistan drastically different. This coming-of-age story has a lot to teach readers both young and old.
Okay submitted by zmclaugh on July 30, 2018, 1:31pm Some good scenes, but overall this didn't click with me.
