This selection is the Newbery Honor-winning story of a Muslim girl whose life as a nomad is both exhilarating and cruel. An ALA Notable Book and Best Book for Young Adults.
The Newbery Honor winner about a heroic Pakistani girl that The Boston Globe called "Remarkable . . . a riveting tour de force." Life is both sweet and cruel to strong-willed young Shabanu, whose home is the windswept Cholistan Desert of Pakistan.

But when a tragic encounter with a wealthy and powerful landowner ruins the marriage plans of her older sister, Shabanu is called upon to sacrifice everything she's dreamed of. Should she do what is necessary to uphold her family's honor-or listen to the stirrings of her own heart? A New York Times Notable Book "Staples has accomplished a small miracle in her touching and powerful story." -The New York Times
