I would like anyone to read this book. Although it is a little sad, it is a very good book. It is very interesting, and I would especially recommend this book to teenage readers. They will learn about life in Afghanistan, and they will encounter many events that can be true and happen in real life. They should be able to learn more about world history from this book.
