This is the follow up to Amina's Voice and it is just as wonderful. We start with Amina in Pakistan, connecting to her Pakistani side. Once she returns home we follow Amina as she learns to embrace both of the cultures she belongs too. It is a great portrayal of a young teenage/tween learning who they are. This would be a wonderful read aloud in a classroom or for a student book club.

I really enjoyed Amina's Voice so I was excited to see where this one went. It was great to see Amina grow in this book and come to terms with her culture and identity. This book did a wonderful job showing all the different parts of Amina's life such as friends, family and getting to know her family in Pakistan. This is definitely a book I would recommend to anyone looking for a middle grade read.

I read and enjoyed Amina's Voice a few years ago so I was excited to see this book up for review. This book takes place soon after the first with Amina spending the summer with her family in Pakistan. When she gets back to school she deals with new teachers, new friends, new clubs, and kids that think that there is nothing great about where she is from.

I really enjoyed this book and seeing how Amina grows even more from the first book, seeing how she works to show the kids in her class that there is more to Pakistan than what they see in the news, how she grows in her friendships and confidence, and how she continues to learn more about herself. This was a really great book.

Amina's Song is a lovely middle grade novel where Amina and her family visit relationships in Pakistan before returning home to America. The story includes her trip, her family life and a big part of the story surrounds Amina's grade 7 school life including her project in school on the Living Wax Museum, her music class and drama club. Amina and new friend Nico work on creating music, there is a dance, problems with classmates misunderstanding each other, getting braces, a little family drama, while touching on big themes such as female role models, terrorists, visa issues, and hate crimes, a solid middle grade read. I have not read Amina's Voice, but I plan to now.
