As they forge their own family in the war zone that Afghanistan has become, their resilience, imagination and luck help them survive.
The children travel together because it is easier than being alone.
Making her way across the desolate Afghan countryside, she meets other children who are strays from the war: an infant boy in a bombed-out village, a nine-year-old girl who believes she has magical powers over land mines, and a boy with one leg.
Her Journey only becomes more perilous as the bombs begin to fall.
Parvana doesn\'t know where they are, but sets out alone to find them -- masquerading as a boy.
Parvana\'s father has died, and her mother, sister, and brother have gone to a faraway wedding, not knowing what has happened to her father.
