Book Description
The third book in the internationally bestselling Breadwinner series. Parvana's best friend from The Breadwinner, Shauzia, has escaped the misery of her life in Kabul, only to end up in a refugee camp in Pakistan. But she still dreams of seeing the ocean and eventually making a new life in France. But escape is not so easy. Once she leaves the camp, she has no money, no food, and only her dog Jasper for company. But Shauzia is determined to find a new future for herself. This is another deeply moving story from Deborah Ellis, which casts light for readers on the ongoing humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.

Review
