Rollercoasters: The Breadwinner
Set in war-torn Afghanistan during Taliban control, this is the compelling story of the strength, courage and bravery of Parvana. She is rarely allowed outside and is banned from attending schools; this is until her father is taken by the Taliban and she is forced to disguise herself as a boy and take on the role of family breadwinner.
