I knew, once I’d read it that this would be a keeper, and that it appeals to young adult readers is no surprise to me.

It’s so easy these days to be so focused on conveying content to kids but really, we all need reminders that we TEACH STUDENTS, not material! It’s so nice to have another reminder, especially one backed up by research!

This is a read-worthy book I would totally recommend to anyone who is interested to know how a girl like Nujood musters all the courage to get out from a child marriage and an abusive husband who robbed a part of her innocence. Yes, the book is a perfect discussion fodder about the issues of child marriages which still happen in this world.

This sounds like a really interesting book. I know I love Jane Austen for her humor and social satire, along with the guilty pleasure of reading romance.

This book sounds phenomenal. I see so many differences not only in my students, but in my three children. I’m really looking forward to sharing some of these ideas with my students.
