我的阿富汗筆友

內容簡介

內容簡介 我的阿富汗筆友艾比快被留級了，再這樣下去，她必須重讀六年級，除非她願意完成一個特別的加分作業──交一個國外的筆友。艾比的第一封信被送到阿富汗的一個小學校，交到薩迪德手中。一個熱愛攀岩爬高的蜘蛛女艾比，遇上了很會寫詩的鬥風箏高手薩迪德，就此展開一段跨越國界的友情與交流。然而，在傳統保守的阿富汗與看似開明的美國，這樣的通信事件是否會帶來意想不到的衝擊與麻煩呢？It isn’t that Abby Carson can’t do her schoolwork. She just doesn’t like doing it. And consequently, Abby will have to repeat sixth grade—unless she meets some specific conditions, including taking on an extra credit project: find a pen pal in a distant country. But when Abby’s first letter arrives at a small school in Afghanistan, complications arise. The elders agree that any letters going back to America must be written well, but the only qualified English-speaking student is a boy. And in this village, it’s not proper for a boy to correspond with a girl. So, Sadeed’s sister will dictate and sign the letters for him. But what about the villagers who believe that girls should not be anywhere near a school? And what about those who believe that any contact with Americans is...unhealthy?As letters flow back and forth—between the prairies of Illinois and the mountains of central Asia, across cultural and religious divides, through the minefields of different lifestyles and traditions—a small group of children begin to speak and listen to each other. And in just a few short weeks, they make important discoveries about their communities, about their world, and most of all, about themselves.
