Even though this book is written for young adult / high school students, it was mesmerizing to me as a 42 year-old mom. I wanted to fight for Shabanu; for the freedom of choice she doesn't have simply because she is a girl. This story was an eye-opening view of the many different cultural groups that exist within Pakistan and a woman's place in those cultures. The descriptions of the characters, the geographical areas, and customs are detailed. I read this book in one sitting and then ordered the companion novel Haveli that continues Shabanu's story. I am about to order the last book in the triad. If you have a daughter, this is a must read!

A great piece of young adult literature. Its a tale of a young girl in a Pakistan. Its a powerful story of the culture surrounding her and her camel raising family of gypsies. It has some graphic parts that may not be suitable for immature readers.

Wonderful Newbery Honor book for young adults about the muslim world from a teenager's point of view. See companion book, "Haveli."
