Author(s): Deborah Ellis

Middle Reader

Once you flip open the cover of the book you'll find yourself inside the gate of Mud City. Perhaps, Shaozia will reach out to ask you for some food or money!


In this story, which takes place directly after September 11, and amidst the heavy flow of refugees at the Pakistani border due to the fear of American attacks, you’ll walk with Shaozia in petrifying and worrying places. She’s lived in the alleys of Widows’ Compound in the Afghani refugee camp.


You’ll succumb to the harsh laws of Ms. Wira, the compound’s director. You’ll join the battle of finding flour if you think your children are famished! You’ll watch her being imprisoned then move in with an American family and then live in a landfill. Under these circumstances, Shaozia denies this cruel reality and bears it to reach her dream—to travel through the sea and get to France to meet her friend, Parvana, at the top of the Eiffel Tower.
