Summary: not a children's book
Review: I have a feeling this is one of those books that grown-ups would like children to love, but that children themselves won't much appreciate. It's too bad, because it deals in simple language with cultural and gender issues that kids should probably hear about. Unfortunately, the pace and density of the plot are not great enough to sustain the attention of most young people.This is a decent book that has no audience.

Summary: Magnificently written. Truly Capturing!
Review: Shabanu, a girl struggling for her own freedom... This novel is compelling,portraying the way of life for Pakistani nomads. Catching you in its flow, it makes you feel like a spirit floating beside Shabanu watching her every movement. Full of character and humor, as well as suspense and sadness, leaves you gasping for breath

Summary: Shabanu was great
Review: I think that Shabanu is a great book.Since my core class had to read it,I thought it would be extremly boring.It was not boring at all. I am looking forward to reading Haveli which is the sequel to Shabanu.

Summary: This is my ALL-TIME favourite book!!
Review: There is no other book quite like Shabanu. I read it because my grade 5 teacher recommended it. I have just recently read it again and re-discovered the meaning in this book.I loved the situations portrayed in this book, and how Shabanu solved them. It gives deep insight into how a different culture works.

Summary: This is a very good book that keeps you coming back for more
Review: Shabanu Daughter of the Wind was a great book. At first I didn't think much of it until I actually read the first page then it grabbed my attention then I didn't put the book down for two or threee hours straight. This book is about a girl who lives in the deserts of Pakistan where her and her family are faced with natural disaters that force them to make a run for it and dessert their home for safety. Until Pakistani tradition comes into play is when things start to get ugly. Read this book because it may give you insight on a totally different culture and it will enlighten your soul every minute that you read it.

Summary: A realistic, book with lovable and hatable characters
Review: Shabanu moves slowly at first, but as soon as you really get into it, you really want to know what happens next. I could relate to the characters, and I really cared for them. I cried when they cried, and I laughed when they laughed. This is a great book for a mother and daughter to read together. This is a wonderful book for anyone who has ever had to make a real decision, or has been expected by family members to do the imposible.

Summary: A touching story of a Muslim girl growing up in the desert
Review: I read the book, "Shabanu: Daughter of the Wind" for a class project. At first, I felt that this book was very boring and no action to it. When I got to about the middle of the book, I started really feeling for Shabanu's character. I felt for Shabanu's pain and grief throughout the story. It shows how & what a girl must do to grow up as a Muslim girl in the desert. This book is worth reading & is one of those books that you would remember for a lifetime.
