Really good read! I enjoyed the scattering of Pakhto and Farsi all across the book. A book that's good for a one-time reading, but also packed with so much that you'll easily find more on a second reading.

Minor: Gun violence and Violence
The Afghanistan-American war is happening in the background of this book, and several members of the family have been affected by it. None of the kids get wrapped up in it, but there are a lot of stories from older members about the violence and death that they've experienced or witnessed.
