PRAISE FOR AMAL UNBOUND
"Timely and stirring . . . reminds us that the powerful aren't invincible—and that every action, no matter how small, bends the arc of the moral universe towards justice."—Teen Vogue
* "Saeed infuses this true-to-life story of unjust power dynamics in a poor Pakistani village with a palpable sense of dread. . . . Eloquent, suspenseful, eye-opening tale offers a window into the contemporary practice of indentured servitude and makes a compelling case for the power of girls' education to transform systemic injustice."—PW STAR
* "Timely and stirring . . . a celebration of resistance and justice."—Kirkus STAR
* "Shares an empowering message about the importance of family, literacy, and cultural ties. . . . Rich storytelling, nuanced characterization of an all-Pakistani cast, complex and layered look at the socioeconomics of the region, and richly described setting. . . . A strong choice for all middle grade shelves."—SLJ STAR
* "This beautifully crafted and moving story will encourage middle grade readers to ponder such issues as indentured servitude, class, and resistance. Saeed's well-developed narrative will evoke empathy for all those around the world like Amal, who are not guaranteed freedom or education. An inspired read for all."—SLC STAR
