We would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Murramurang people, the traditional owners and custodians of this land.

A beautiful mix of childlike innocence and harsh tragedy, this book was very special and wonderful to read.

The fifth book in Ellis's Breadwinner series, One More Mountain was published by Groundwood books in 2022, takes up Parvana's story as the Americans are leaving Afghanistan and the Taliban are regaining control in Kabul. The sequel, Sacred Leaf, is about Diego's time with the Ricardos (a family who helped Diego) and a giant coca leaf protest. I would recommend this trilogy to any young reader, in fact I think it is an important piece that all preteens should have on their shelves.Shauzia, who had been planning to run away from her family so that she would not have to marry, tells Parvana that she will also be leaving with some nomads. The biggest change Parvana experiences in the book creates a solution that literally saves her family from starvation.
