MFOB FEATURED BOOK: One Half from the East (to be published September 2016)
Nadia Hashimi’s first middle-grade novel is a coming-of-age journey set in modern-day Afghanistan that explores life as a bacha posh—a preteen girl dressed as a boy. Obayda’s aunt has an idea to bring the family good fortune—dress Obayda, the youngest of four sisters, as a boy, a bacha posh. Life in this in-between place is confusing, until Obayda meets another bacha posh. Can the two girls figure out a way to make their newfound freedoms last?
