Description
Obayda's life is complicated by her family's need for good fortune. To bring them luck, she is dressed as a boy, a bacha posh. This in-between place can be confusing, but it also brings unexpected friendships and new experiences. As Obayda navigates this unfamiliar world, she meets another bacha posh who changes everything. Their transformation won't last forever, unless they find a way to make it stick and preserve their newfound freedoms. This novel explores the complexities of life as a preteen girl in modern-day Afghanistan, where tradition and family expectations can be at odds with individual identity.
