I read this autobiography over the summer and absolutely loved it! I am definitely going to buy a copy for the library because I can think of quite a few of my upper school students who would really enjoy it.
Written by comedian Shappi Khorsandi, this is the true story of her childhood in Iran and her family’s exile to England. When Shappi’s dad takes a job in London the family think they will soon be moving back to Iran but then the Revolution happens. The Khorsandi family are no longer welcome in Iran and must get used to living in England. Shappi and her brother struggle to adapt at first but soon find themselves fitting in better than their parents. The book is sometimes moving, sometimes funny but always enjoyable.
