The Secret Sky

An eye-opening tale of love for fans of The Kite Runner and Inside Out and Back Again. Set in present day Afghanistan, this is the story of two teenagers, one Pashtun and one Hazara, who must fight against their culture, their tradition, their families, and the Taliban to stay together.

 

This novel depicts the violent realities of living in Afghanistan as well as the beauty of the land and the cultures there. And it shows that love can bloom in even the darkest of places. This is an absolute must-read not just for teens but for anyone who has lived during the time of America’s war in Afghanistan.
