Amal Unbound

"Amal’s loving home life in Pakistan is irrevocably shaken when she defends herself against the son of her village’s corrupt landlord. Forced into indentured servitude, she must adjust to a harsh new life and new enemies, while longing for her family, her books and her freedom. Amal’s resilient spirit and unwavering determination for an education keep her dreams alive in Aisha Saeed’s beautifully written ode to the power of hope and determination. Amal Unbound is a book to share, especially in today’s world. (For ages 10 to 13)"
