{"product_id":"the-breadwinner-breadwinner-ser","title":"THE BREADWINNER (BREADWINNER SER","description":"\"All girls [should read] The Breadwinner by Deborah Ellis.\" ― Malala Yousafzai, New York Times\nThe first book in Deborah Ellis’s riveting Breadwinner series is an award-winning novel about loyalty, survival, families and friendship under extraordinary circumstances during the Taliban’s rule in Afghanistan in the late 1990s.\nEleven-year-old Parvana lives with her family in one room of a bombed-out apartment building in Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital city. Parvana’s father ― a history teacher until his school was bombed and his health destroyed ― works from a blanket on the ground in the marketplace, reading letters for people who cannot read or write. One day, he is arrested for the crime of having a foreign education, and the family is left without someone who can earn money or even shop for food.\nAs conditions for the family grow desperate, only one solution emerges. Forbidden to earn money as a girl, Parvana must transform herself into a boy, and become the breadwinner.\nThe fifteenth anniversary edition includes a special foreword by Deborah Ellis as well as a new map, an updated author’s note and a glossary to provide young readers with background and context. All royalties from the sale of this book will go to Right to Learn Afghanistan. Parvana’s Fund supports education projects for Afghan women and children.\n\nCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.3\nCompare and contrast two or more characters, settings, or events in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., how characters interact).\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.3\nDescribe how a particular story's or drama's plot unfolds in a series of episodes as well as how the characters respond or change as the plot moves toward a resolution.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1554987652\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UE340039NA_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ellis, Deborah\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
