One More Mountain by Deborah Ellis
It's 2021 and Parvana and Shauzia, the brave protagonists of The Breadwinner, must now flee to escape new dangers from an old enemy. These days, Parvana runs a school for girls, but when the Taliban regains power everything changes in an instant and Parvana and Shauzia must lead the girls to safety.
"All girls [should read]: The Breadwinner, by Deborah Ellis [..] I think it's important for girls everywhere to learn how women are treated in some societies. But even though Parvana is treated as lesser than boys and men, she never feels that way. She believes in herself and is stronger to fight against hunger, fear and war. Girls like her are an inspiration. The Breadwinner reminds us how courageous and strong women are around the world." * Malala Yousafzai, New York Times *
