Shooting Kabul by N.H. Senzai

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Shooting Kabul is probably one of the most loving and compassionate novels I have ever read. A family living in Afghanistan during the time when the Afghans and the Soviet Union were at war. With the Taliban threatening everyone, Fadi's family decides to leave Afghanistan illegally. They travel to Jalalabad to catch a ride to Peshawar, Pakistan. When the truck arrives to take them to Peshawar, Maraim, Fadi's little sister, is left behind, due to Fadi's mistake of letting go of her hand. The rest of the family makes it safely but they are worried about Mariam.



After a couple of weeks later Fadi joins a photo club where a competition takes place. It includes a photo shoot in India or Africa. Fadi uses this as his chance to get Mariam back and reclaim his honor. Will he succeed, or will his honor be lost forever?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I loved this book. It puts a classic twist on the normal braces issue. Raina is a normal sixth grader who just wants to live a normal life. Even though she is getting braces she wants to at least try to have fun. But one night when racing her friends, she falls down and knocks out all her teeth. Now she has to deal with even more problems. Raina has a great personality and has a great mind. Even though she went through some pretty tough times she was strong and pushed right through. I loved the book and my sister loved the book and I hope you love it too. ENJOY!!!!!! :) :) :)
