I am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced
by Nujood Ali
I saw this on a shelf at Barnes and Noble, and added it to my Goodreads to read list. I found it on the library e-book catalog, and checked it out.
The story was everything I expected it to be. It was interesting, heartbreaking, and innocent. I enjoyed the story, overall. My only criticism is that I didn't like the writing style. The book was written with co-authors, that helped get Nujood's story on paper. As she has limited education, I'm sure this is what she preferred. However, I felt that reading someone else's words wasn't quite right. It felt very juvenile, but not authentic.
I would recommend this to anyone interested in social justice, and issues that are inconceivable in the US.
