I'm going to email you! You need to join our Utah Book Bloggers group. I'll send you details. Glad you stopped by. Kailana - I think short stories work for younger readers who sometimes have a harder time getting through longer books. Ali - I haven't read my old reviews in a really long time! Interesting that you think I've changed. If anything I'm more laid back and comfortable now. Definitely read this author particularly The Breadwinner series. I really liked them. amy BTW M - Paranormal prom stories? I don't think I could do it. :) Michelle - That's what I particularly love about this author, she's such a humanitarian. Glad the girls loved it! mjmbecky – Cool! I’m going to email you! You need to join our Utah Book Bloggers group. I’ll send you details. Glad you stopped by.

I introduced this series to a group of fifth graders this year through a book club. Normally this would not have been a book of their choice but they loved it! She impresses me so much as an author who is out there doing something to change the world! I love Deborah Ellis just through her Parvana series.

I will agree with kailana that short story collections are not much my thing. I think the last one I read was "Prom Nights from Hell". It ended up being like paranormal prom stories. It was weird. This sounds a bit different from that though. It sounds interesting. I will agree with kailana that short story collections are not much my thing.

I've never read this author before but I need to read this book! Her others look good too but have managed to slide underneath my radar. It was fun to read your old reviews--I think your style has changed quite a bit in the past year. Wow. I’ve never read this author before but I need to read this book!

I have to admit that short story collections do not always work that well for me, but I do read them once in a while. I have to make sure to add this to the list for one such moment!
