Deborah Ellis\' Trilogy has been a phenomenal success, both critically and commercially.
Deborah Ellis uses simple, compelling language, memorable characters, and a wealth of imaginative detail in this wrenching look at the human cost of war that is also a surprisingly hopeful story of survival..
In Mud City, the focus shifts to 14-year-old Shauzia, who lives in the Widows\' Compound in Pakistan and dreams of escaping to a new life in France.
Again masquerading as a boy, she joins a group of wandering children, all refugees from war, who exist mainly on courage.
Parvana, now 13 years old, is determined to find them.
In Parvana\'s Journey, her father has died and the family has scattered.
Forbidden to earn money as a girl, Parvana must transform herself into a boy and become the breadwinner.
When her father is arrested for the crime of having a foreign education, the family is left with no money or resources.
The Breadwinner is set in Afghanistan, where 11-year-old Parvana lives with her family in a bombed-out apartment building in Kabul.
Now young readers can experience this entire epic story in one volume.
