Now young readers can experience this entire epic story in one volume. \u003ci\u003eThe Breadwinner\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eParvana's Journey,\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eMud City,\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Groundwood Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012740792560,"sku":"9780888999597","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780888999597_p0.jpg?v=1763855054","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780888999597","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
