À propos de cet audio

 From the critically acclaimed author of Amina’s Voice comes a new story inspired by Louisa May Alcott’s beloved classic, Little Women, featuring four sisters from a modern American Muslim family living in Georgia.

When Jameela Mirza is picked to be feature editor of her middle school newspaper, she’s one step closer to being an award-winning journalist like her late grandfather. The problem is her editor-in-chief keeps shooting down her article ideas. Jameela’s assigned to write about the new boy in school, who has a cool British accent but doesn’t share much, and wonders how she’ll make his story gripping enough to enter into a national media contest.

Jameela, along with her three sisters, is devastated when their father needs to take a job overseas, away from their cozy Georgia home for six months. Missing him makes Jameela determined to write an epic article—one to make her dad extra proud. But when her younger sister gets seriously ill, Jameela’s world turns upside down. And as her hunger for fame looks like it might cost her a blossoming friendship, Jameela questions what matters most, and whether she’s cut out to be a journalist at all… Aptitudes sociales Croissance Fiction Grandir Littérature Patrimoine islamique Vie de famille Amitié

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Priya Ayyar's straightforward narration provides a positive and loving portrayal of a contemporary Pakistani-American family in this story inspired by LITTLE WOMEN. . . . Ayyar is engaging and relatable as Jameela . . . [and] she gives Jameela's three sisters distinct voices reflecting their personalities: mature Maryam; timid, compliant Bisma; and spoiled Aleeza. Listeners who know LITTLE WOMEN will recognize their counterparts, but it's not necessary to enjoy this audiobook."
