Encontrada deambulando sola en una escuela afgana bombardeada, Parvana, de quince años, se niega a hablar, desconcertando a los soldados estadounidenses que la detienen. Mientras la interrogan, revive en silencio los últimos cuatro años: su separación de su familia, peligrosos viajes por un Afganistán devastado por la guerra, y su reencuentro con su madre y hermanas en un pueblo donde su madre finalmente ha logrado abrir una escuela para niñas. Una historia poderosa sobre la resiliencia, el valor y la lucha por la educación en medio del conflicto.

English Translation

My Name is Parvana

Found wandering alone in a bombed-out Afghan school, fifteen-year-old Parvana refuses to speak, baffling the American soldiers who detain her. As they press for answers, she silently relives the past four years—her separation from her family, dangerous journeys across war-torn Afghanistan, and eventual reunion with her mother and sisters in a village where her mother has finally opened a school for girls. A powerful story of resilience, courage, and the fight for education amid conflict, this novel offers young readers a moving look at survival and hope in a country shaped by war.
