It’s the last few days of her vacation in Pakistan, and Amina has loved every minute of it. The food, the shops, the time she’s spent with her family—all of it holds a special place in Amina’s heart. Now that the school year is starting again, she’s sad to leave, but also excited to share the wonders of Pakistan with her friends back in Greendale.

After she’s home, though, her friends don’t seem overly interested in her trip. And when she decides to do a presentation on Pakistani hero Malala Yousafzai, her classmates focus on the worst parts of the story. How can Amina share the beauty of Pakistan when no one wants to listen?

Evelyn R. ★★★★★

The ending caught me completely off guard—I wasn’t ready for how much it would hit home. Every detail about Amina’s time with her family and the food felt so vivid, like I was right there in Pakistan with her.

Victoria ★★★★★

The way it captures that bittersweet feeling of a trip winding down really got to me—I could almost taste the food and hear the family chatter while reading. It’s a short read but it lingers, which is exactly what I wanted.

Joseph ★★★★★

I was in the middle of packing for my own trip home when I started reading this, and the way it captures those last bittersweet days—the food, the family time—really hit me. It’s a short read but it stays with you long after you finish.
