The second book in the internationally-bestselling series that includes The Breadwinner, Mud City and My Name Is ParvanaIn 2001, a war is raging in Afghanistan as a coalition of Western forces tries to oust the Taliban by bombing the country. Parvana doesn't know where they are. Parvana's father has died, and her mother, sister and brother have gone to a faraway wedding, not knowing what has happened to the father.
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 who is so obnoxious that Parvana can hardly stand him. She just knows she has to find them.She sets out alone, masquerading as a boy, her journey becoming more perilous as the bombs begin to fall.
