Wild Things: YA Grown-Up discussion

I highly recommend both Persepolis and Anahita's Woven Riddle.

Yes, Persepolis is an amazing graphic novel. Anahita's Woven Riddle is another great story, involving a girl who chooses her husband by weaving a riddle into her tapestry.

Words in the Dust is a new book by Trent Reedy, which I am looking forward to reading. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84...

Extraordinary Women from the Muslim World includes story of Shirin Ebadi from Iran, a Nobel Peace Prize Winner.
