"That’s been our rule since I was a little girl. No complaining, no matter how hard things get."
Baru di bab pertama udah buat aku "nyess".
Buku ini dinarasikan oleh dua tokoh, yaitu Mimi dan Sakina. Keduanya bersahabat dan memiliki latar belakang yang bertolak belakang.
Aku rasa banyak isu isu sosial di buku ini yg bisa relate dengan Indonesia, seperti pendidikan yang sulit didapat bagi kaum tidak mampu. Aku seneng banget sama persahabatan Mimi dan Sakina, so heartwarming ❤. Family matters yang diangkat juga berhasil membuatku terenyuh. Rekomen banget pokoknya

Wanted to experience what is presently available in Young Reader demo. So picked this title as I am interested in it's underlining themes. May have had my radar on reading it and was pleasantly surprised with it's depth. A nice read.

it was pretty interesting, I truly liked and cared for both MCs. I thought Islam would have a larger involvement but oh well. I learned some stuff about Pakistan but I can't help but feel it's outdated. also, it was wild seeing that the elections were a big part of the story, while elections just happened there again.

I don't read middle grade books usually but I picked this one up after reading g the blurb. It's such a gem. A Thousand Questions,set in Pakistan follows the lives of two girls,Maryam and Sakina.
Maryam aka Mimi visits her grandparents with her Mom for thr summer and meets Sakina. She quickly befriends her they become close friends later in ways they never thought they'd be able to. How they support and help each other forms the rest of the story.
The author has done a very good job in writing middle grade friendships along with focus on serious issues such as poverty,illness etc. The words flow freely and we are sucked into the story which is straightforward and raw.
A heartwarming read!

"Water is more precious than the gold rich ladies buy from their air-conditioned malls with guards outside. Water is life. Gold is... colored rock."

"Money gives you freedom in some ways, but to be truly free you need other things. Good friends. Family. Your children around you."

"There's no point in crying over the loss of something. I've usually found that things aren't ever lost. One just doesn't know where they are at that moment."
