This week I read, "Persopholis" Its a graphic novel based on a true story about a young girl living in Iraq in the 80's when there is a war going on. Its about how difficult it is living in a city with war and chaos and at the same time, growing up as a normal young girl. Throughout the book you see how she changes, and the phases she goes through, the different friends she has, and the different experiences she has as well. It shows even the littlest scenes that happen in her life, that might seem unimportant but are also very honest and realistic.
Even though it is a graphic novel, it really teaches you something about what life was like in Iraq and is not what most graphic novels are. It is almost scary at some points, but also very realistic. I've already read it twice but I feel like a got a lot more out if it this time and learned a lot more than the other times. I enjoyed it and am planning on reading the sequel.
I LOVED Persepolis and I loved the way you described it! I think that's how you spell it by the way. I like how you pointed out that she changes through her experiences.

It's a memoir I'm pretty sure, but you could look it up.
