Description
An uplifting novel for 11-13 year olds about oppression, privilege, girls' and women's status, education, and diversity, Amal Unbound is also a heartwarming story about a girl with a mission.
Twelve-year-old Amal loves learning and dreams of becoming a teacher.
Then something unimaginable happens—after an accidental run-in with the son of her village's corrupt landlord, she is forced to work as his family's servant to pay off her own family's debt.
At the opulent and corrupt Khan estate, Amal realises she will have to find a way to work with others in order to bring about change and achieve her dreams.
Inspired by Malala Yousafzai, Amal Unbound is a heartwarming story for brave girls everywhere.
