For the first time in a single volume, Deborah Ellis's remarkable trilogy about life under Taliban rule The Breadwinner, Parvana's Journey and Mud City are already best-sellers. The three books tell the stories of children whose lives are unimaginable to most of us. Girls who can't go out, who see their families and friends beaten and starved, who are not allowed to go to school, simply because they live under Taliban rule.
Alive with the sounds, smells and suffering of Afghanistan and the refugee camps of Pakistan, these three books are the inspiring stories of ordinary children with extraordinary
courage.Features- Three best-selling titles in a single volume for the first time ever: The Breadwinner alone has sold over 50,000 copies.
- Only £8.99 for three classic novels.
- The Breadwinner, Parvana's Journey and Mud City were all published to critical acclaim.
- Moving, vivid and thought-provoking writing that is accessible, real and, ultimately, optimistic.
