520    "Continuing this propulsive middle grade nonfiction series,
       a young woman once persecuted by the Taliban shares her 
       journey to becoming a community activist. As a girl and as
       part of an ethnic minority in Afghanistan, Freshta Tori 
       Jan was persecuted relentlessly. Her family faced 
       kidnappings and daily murder attempts on the bus, on the 
       way to school, in the workplace, and beyond. Freshta's 
       school was shut down by the Taliban, and many of her 
       friends were murdered and shot. Her journey through 
       poverty, terrorism, and other forms of injustice has 
       enabled her to be a voice for those unable to share their 
       stories and those unable to receive the opportunities she 
       has sought. She believes in empowering youth in order to 
       bring about change and be the leaders of today and 
       tomorrow. With a voice that is both accessible and 
       engaging, Freshta brings forward a captivating first-
       person account of strength, resilience, and determination,
       and delivers compelling narrative nonfiction by young 
       people, for young people."--|cProvided by publisher
