"I love the book. it was a very good book. It really go's with all the other books. I also Read the Breadwinner and Parvana's Journey both Really sad. I cryed. I felt so bad for Parvana and now in Mud City I fell bad for Shauzia. Parvana and Shauzia are Alike in many way. there both tough and and very brave. I don't think I would every be as brave as them ever."
