WIN! Amina (Through Her Eyes)




After surviving years of civil war in Somalia, Amina’s family is torn apart – her father arrested and her brother abducted. Suddenly, Amina feels vulnerable: food is scarce, her mother is pregnant and her grandmother ailing. She begins creating street art secretly. Will her work inspire others to strive for a better future for Mogadishu – or will it destroy what’s left of her family?

A moving story of one child’s life in the conflict zone of Mogadishu, Somalia, Amina by J L Powers is the second book in the Through My Eyes series. These middle fiction novels by various authors explore the experiences of children living in conflict zones. The books share both the everyday experiences and incredible difficulties these children face, helping older primary school-aged and high school readers to appreciate the challenges and cultures of children just like them around the world.

You can find out more about the series, including accessing book trailers, sample chapters and teachers’ notes, by visiting the Through My Eyes website.

Thanks to the generous people at Allen & Unwin, we have four copies of Amina to give away. Each book is valued at $15.99.
