FYI, I believe this book was published in Canada and the United States
as "Mud City." It's the story of Shauzia (who befriended Parvana in The
Breadwinner when both were disguised as boys) who escapes Afghanistan
and goes to France, but ultimately returns to help her friends and family.
Cheers,
Michelle
