Annotation:
A young girl is growing up during the Iran revolution. She observes how people are tortured and killed for their beliefs. As much as she wants to rebel, she must conform to new rules in order to live safely.
Personal Reaction:
It is interesting to read an autobiography in graphic novel format. Prior to reading this graphic novel, I did not have much of an idea of how it must be to grow up in a time and place of revolution. The plot was fairly hard to follow and there were many character names to keep track of.
