A Thousand Questions by Saadia Faruqi
4.0
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!
