Overview

From the author of the New York Times bestseller Amal Unbound, Hafsa’s Way is an uplifting story about a girl who defies expectations by pursuing her dreams. Hafsa has always dreamed of becoming a doctor, so when she’s accepted into a prestigious summer science camp, she’s thrilled. But her parents are not happy. The camp is expensive, it’s in a big city and they don’t think a girl should aspire to be a doctor. But it turns out Hafsa has enrolled in the wrong program and the other kids treat her badly. When she refocuses her energy on climate change, she encounters an elephant with bigger problems than her own. She realises that standing up for what’s right sometimes means breaking the rules. But Hafsa’s ready, even if it means getting in trouble.
