By Suzanne Fisher Staples
|
|
With poetic flare, Staples presents a marvelous story of Najmah, a young Afghan girl whose name means "star," in modern day Afghanistan. When Najmah suddenly finds herself alone after her father and older brother are taken by the Taliban and her mother and newborn brother are killed in an air raid, she finds refuge not only under the persimmon tree, but also under the care of an American whose Afghan husband is in the war. Hardcover, 273 pages. Grades 5-8.
