(3) 4-6 Set in a predominantly Kurdish Iranian town in the mountains bordering Iraq, Mead's story addresses Saddam Hussein's attempt to eliminate the Kurdish people of Iran during the late 1980s. Thirteen-year-old Azad's lyrical first-person narrative weaves in political and social history and the importance of ethnic identity to his family and community. His anger and fear, maturity and childishness believably coexist.
Reviewer: Juliet S. King
