The Breadwinner (The Breadwinner collection)

Afghanistan: Parvana's father is arrested and taken away by Taliban soldiers. Under Taliban law, women and girls are not allowed to leave the house on their own.

Parvana, her mother, and sisters are prisoners in their own home. With no man to go out to buy food, they face starvation.

So Parvana must pretend to be a boy to save her family. It is a dangerous plan, but their only chance. In fear, she goes out - and witnesses the horror of landmines, the brutality of the Taliban, and the desperation of a country trying to survive. But even in despair lies hope . . .

Deborah Ellis has been to Afghan refugee camps and has listened to many stories like Parvana's.

阿富汗:帕瓦纳的父亲被塔利班士兵逮捕并带走。根据塔利班的法律，妇女和女孩不能独自离开家。

帕瓦娜、她的母亲和姐妹们被囚禁在自己的家中。没有人出去买食物，他们面临饥饿。

所以帕瓦娜必须假装成一个男孩来拯救她的家人。这是个危险的计划，但他们唯一的机会。在恐惧中，她走了出去，目睹了地雷的恐怖，塔利班的残暴，以及一个国家为生存而绝望。但即使在绝望中也蕴藏着希望……

黛博拉·埃利斯去过阿富汗难民营，听过许多类似帕瓦娜的故事。
