" a great read for all but especially young girls "
" I felt a lil bit dissapointed about this book, cause I didn't find Parvana's life anymore. Yep, this book was about Shauzia, Parvana's friend. Hmm, but still interesting. "
" Not as good as the first two of this trilogy. "
" I like how the author writes a story about Shauzia Parvana's best friend. It was very good though. "
" This is probably my favourite in the series not sure though "
" Mommy read this one to Ashlynn and I as well as the other 2 in the series.3rd in the trilogy by Deborah Ellis. Good. Sad. "
" This is such a good book!! It is also very sad but reminds me of how lucky I am to have everything I have. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a thoughtful story!! "
" Loved it da BOMB!!! "
" THW WHOLE TRILOGY IS JUST AMAZING "
" This book was great! It had a few times where I just cried. If you are looking for a passionate and book about a determined child, read this book. "
" all three of these books are part of the series. they are all very good books. well written about what is happening in afghanistan. read them in order to get all the books "
" this is another seek-well of the bread-winner this is about parvana's friend shazia. "
" Third book in Breadwinner trilogy. "

" Third book in the Deborah Ellis Breadwinner trilogy (see comments on the first two novels). "
" This was a disappointing third book in the series as compared to the first two (The Breadwinner and Parvana's Journey). "
" This book was pretty good! This is the same book as Parvana just that it's called Mud City for some wierd reason. "
" Pretty good book , but I preferred Parvanna and Parvanna's journey. It was really annoying when she went on about going to france. "
" Another life changing book in the series. Reading about the conditions in Afghanistan leave me feeling frustrated. I appreciate Deborah Ellis' ability to show it how it is without sugar coating it. "
" One of the two sequels to The Breadwinner, this book took us through Parvana's friend Shauzia's journey after leaving Kabul. It was a good read, though not quite as engaging as the original. "
" This book is soooooooooooooooo sad!!! It was, however, very intreuiging. I can not beleive what the people in Pakistan go through just to get food. "
" This series of books is just so, so good. Now I am reading Under the Persimmon Tree by Suzanne Fisher Staples, which is in a similar vein, taking place in Afghanistan in 2001. "
" this is a good book because it talks about how life is like for some people in Afghanistan. "
" Good book about life as a refugee in Pakistan. Fun read and good for young kids. "
" See my comment under book 1 "
" A Great Trilogy. Shazia is a great character. It was nice to see her grow from the Breadwinner. Of course the ending is open ended, as it should be. Shazia's struggles are believable, but sad. I definitely recommend this series. "
" just the teeniest bit weaker than the other book, but that's not saying much because it's so amazing anyway. "
" 3 book of the breadwinner trilogy "
" 5-stars, what more is there to say :D "
" A really good story about a really poor girl who lived in Afghanistan and what she had to go through to survive and follow her dream to get to France... "
