About this listen

 ‘My life is dust and rocks and rude boys and skinny babies, and long days of searching for my mother when I don’t have the faintest idea where she might be.’

Parvana is alone. Her father is dead. A refugee in a land full of dangers, she must travel across Afghanistan to find her mother and sisters.

As she travels, Parvana finds friends — a starving, orphaned baby; a strange, hostile boy; a solitary girl who darts in and out of the minefields to find food.

Perhaps, with their help, she may one day be reunited with her family...©2003 Deborah Ellis; (P)2009 Listening Library Fiction Geography & Cultures Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction

Great story

I teach the Breadwinner to my students and reading the sequel was eye opening to the hardships of the people who were not living in the cities (who already were suffering as well). It helps a lot to put things into perspective for my students.

A window into hardship

I've seen the Breadwinner movie three times in the past five years and I was curious how Parvana's journey continues. It is a very well writen story with lots of emotions and great characters. The series has given me another perspective of the world and made me care for the well being of today's Afghan children.

Amazing
