Progressive churches, social justice organizations, and families with older children may be the most appreciative audiences for this earnest and heartfelt effort.
Recommended as an addition to multicultural fiction collections, especially if students have the opportunity to learn about the current culture of Saudi Arabia prior to listening to this work. ["Those seeking to introduce students to Saudi Arabian culture should consider this title": SLJ 8/15 review of the Dial book.]
The length may limit this program's usefulness in some classroom settings, though scene selections focus on specific subject matter (the race with Nazi Germany to develop the bomb or Soviet espionage).
An addition to large fairy tale collections that will satisfy more sophisticated tastes.
Highly recommended for picture book collections.
While this should be applauded for attempts to thoughtfully discuss issues surrounding rape and includes some level of diversity, this novel is ultimately too slight to be anything but a forgettable issue-driven story.
