But soon the revolution erupts and the rules of life in Iran change. Religion classes become mandatory. Nioucha has to cover her head and wear robes. Opinions at school are not welcome. Her cousin is captured and tortured after he is caught trying to leave the country. And yet, in the midst of so much change and challenge, Nioucha is still just a girl who wants to play with her friends, please her parents, listen to pop music, and, eventually, have a boyfriend. Will she ever get used to this new culture? Can she break the rules without consequences? Nioucha's story sheds light on the timely conversation about religious, political, and social freedom, publishing in time for the 40th anniversary of the Iranian Revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nioucha Homayoonfar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1426333668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781426333668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Geographic Kids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.70w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e199855 \/ Taking Cover: One Girl's Story of Growing Up During the Iranian Revolution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/21\/2018 pg. 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2019 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019 - Recommended, Satisfactory","brand":"Nioucha Homayoonfar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986836881663,"sku":"9781426333668","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_906acd45-b784-4d11-984a-3da7d0f77fa0.jpg?v=1683285471","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/taking-cover-nioucha-homayoonfar-9781426333668","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
