Today is new book day! We have a wide range of topics here from adventure to science to graphic novels. Today I would like to highlight The Breadwinner, which is an award winning book. The copy I put out this week is a graphic novel version of the whole book. This is an excellent story that you will love if you enjoy reading about kids who grow up in very different circumstances than you do. The main character lives in Afghanistan and the story takes place after the Taliban take control of the country. If you didn't know, girls and women cannot work under Taliban rule. So when 11-year-old Parvana's father is arrested, she has to disguise herself as a boy to work and earn money to feed her family. If she is caught working, she will be sentenced to death! Read this novel to see what happens to Parvana and her family! when you are done, and of age, be sure to check out the movie that was made of this on Netflix! It is rated PG-13 so you may need to wait a minute, but it will be there when you are ready! Be sure to place a hold on any of these great books you would like to read via the link below the slideshow!
