Crit Of Books Seven Daughters and Seven Sons

Short & Sweet: I cracked this book open and was easily taken into the story. Buran is one of seven daughters and her father's business is not doing well, meaning it will be hard for any of them to find suitable husbands. She has a mind for business and begs her father to let her travel to a far away city disguised as a boy to try and make their fortune. He relents and she ends up as a servant of a greedy merchant who quickly sees her wit for what it is and teaches her along the way to their

very amazing book all the way round the story shows that you don't have to be a certain gender to do what you want to do.

This is a YA retelling of an Arabian folktale, about a girl who disguises herself as a boy and moves to a new city to start a business in order to support her family, who are struggling to get by with seven daughters in need of a dowry and no sons to help out. Of course, she falls in love while in disguise, and various complications ensue.The love story was actually the worst part by far; it's extremely simplistic and just generally disappointing (possible spoilers: I particularly didn't like

I really enjoyed this tale of how a young lady stood up for her family amidst the cultural and religious beliefs of her time.

I love, love, love this retelling of an Iranian folktale! Coming from that culture, you might not expect to find a story about the intelligence and empowerment of women, but that is what you get, coupled with a great love story! I read it to my husband recently and he loved it too! One warning: although it seems to be written for a fairly young audience I would be cautious about letting your pre-pubescent kids have at it since there is a description of a girls appearance that might not be

It was written in a way that pulled you in and made to forget what was going on around you. I love it when a book helps me take a break from real life.It was fun to have such a great main character. I liked going through her growing process with her. I also really liked watching two young people that have been taught incorrect ways of looking at marriage find out that they can be

This book was an incredible recommendation from a friend of mine. I'm on a bit of an Arab book streak right now, and this did not disappoint. I'll be honest, I'm usually not a HUGE fan of stories about "powerful women" because usually they seem repetitive: "Men are oppressive; oppressed woman rises up and does something incredible; suck it, men." At least that's how they usually seem to me. This book was a wonderful refreshment and a great love story to boot. While yes, Buran obviously lives in
