Hi, this is Betsy from Otto’s. In the new young adult novel, Words in the Dust, we meet a girl who is trying desperately to remember the letters and words her mother was trying to teach her before the Taliban put a stop to it…a girl who sneaks out to visit one of her mother’s friends to pick up where her mother left off…a girl who is jeered at by the village bullies who call her Donkeyface because she has a cleft lip…a girl who discovers the miraculous powers of the American military doctor who fixes her mouth…a girl who is scandalized by the Americans’ lack of propriety regarding Afghan customs…a girl who hopes one day to go to a real school…a girl who deserves to be known by every American young adult reader. Hey kids, put down your books of vampires and wizards and get a touch of reality. Learn about real people in the country our brave soldiers are trying to save from oppression. Read Words in the Dust, based on a real person in a real part of your world. You’ll find it at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise in the heart of downtown Williamsport. |
