This was a fresh, unique story written by Aisha Saeed set in present day Pakistan. There, education is not a given, especially for girls. There, greedy landlords can turn your life around in a minute with their power. Twelve-year-old Amal loves school and her family. However, Amal made a mistake one day and was taken away from her family to work off her father's death in the corrupt landlord's house. Her strength and courage in this fictitious story mirror that of real-life education advocate Malala Yousafzai. (FIC SAE)
