Shooting Kabul by N.H. Senzai

5.0

The book Shooting Kabul by N.H. Senzai is about a boy named Fadi who has run away from the Taliban in Kabul, Afghanistan to Fremont, California. But, in the process of escaping his little sister, Mariam, gets lost in the crowd and does not make it to America with the rest of the family. As the events of 9/11 unfold, getting Mariam out of Afghanistan seem slim. Then, when a photography competition is announced with a grand prize to India, Fadi sees a chance to go to Afghanistan to rescue Mariam. But can he really win a photo competition?

I really liked the book Shooting Kabul. N.H. Senzai does a good job of making the book suspenseful. Here is an example of that:"Instinctively he clung to Mariam's hand, but her sweaty fingers slipped through his just as the truck rolled forward and picked up speed." I recommend this book to people who like adventure stories and realistic fiction.
