Sobre este áudio
In the vein of Year of the Dog and The Higher Power of Lucky, this Middle Eastern coming-of-age story is told with warmth, spirit, and a mischievous sense of humor
Spunky 11-year-old Wadjda lives in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with her parents. She desperately wants a bicycle so that she can race her friend Abdullah, even though it is considered improper for girls to ride bikes. Wadjda earns money for her dream bike by selling homemade bracelets and mixtapes of banned music to her classmates. But after she's caught, she's forced to turn over a new leaf (sort of), or risk expulsion from school. Still, Wadjda keeps scheming, and with the bicycle so closely in her sights, she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
Set against the shifting social attitudes of the Middle East, The Green Bicycle explores gender roles, conformity, and the importance of family, all with wit and irresistible heart.

"A winningly told story of struggle, solidarity, and optimism." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Wadjda is a well-executed character: despite her feisty nature, she’s vulnerable and flawed, and her story will resonate with boys and girls alike." (School Library Journal)
"Al Mansour’s debut novel is a revelatory glimpse into a culture unfamiliar to many American readers." (Booklist)
