Skunk Girl and Ghostscape

Although these books are more geared to teens or younger, I read both of them, which I got from my local library. Skunk Girl is about a Pakistani teen with facial and body hair problems specifically a patch of hair running down her back. I was disappointed with this book as its another example of muslims behaving badly. Parents should read this book though to enlighten themselves. I really enjoyed Ghostscape though which is about a Somalian girl named Aisha who had lived through the war in Somalia and then travels back in time to the Second World War. This is a mix of history, adventure, religion, friendship and being proud of yourself. I would highly recommend this book. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it just as much if I had been a lot younger. I read some parts out loud to my 12 yr old son and he didn't want me to stop. :) This is the author's first book and its very well done for  a first novel. Insha Allah he will write something again. I look forward to it.
