   Iraqi Girl is about basically an Iraqui Girl's blog, that has been edited by Elizabeth Wrigley-Field and developed by John Ross. "Hadiya" is the girl's name and fortunately her blog is in English so as Americans we are able to understand the perspective of the people we are against war with.

Hadiya illustrates her life as a victime of the war and expresses her feelings towards the soldiers. She questions herself whether life will ever be the same. The war has become such a normal part of her life that it is now easy for her and her family to fall asleep when bombs are going off in the night. I enjoyed reading this book because we don't ever hear the Iraqi voice with regards to the war. Hadiya's thoughts were interesting and made me understand more of how much impact a war has on people. We aren't always right, and Hadiya is a great example of this. I would recommend Iraqi Girl to anyone who is interested in culture and enjoys hearing the perspectives of others.

   This was fine. Interesting to read, definitely made you think about the consequences of the war from a different angle. I just couldn’t get 100% connected to Hadiya because of how this was written but otherwise, it was fine.

She thinks about all the negative things that has happened to her living in Iraq and all the positive things that has happened to her living in Iraq. And she thinks about all the terrible feelings she would have leaving her family. I recommend this book for people that can handle a sad story. And this book isn't only for Iraqi people for all!

   This book was blah, I did not care for it at all. It focuses on a teenage girl who live in Mosul Iraq and her daily events and how the war has changed Iraq. I was hopping to gain some good insight into life in Iraq for the younger generations. However she basically just talked about school and her exams, her future educatio0nal and career goals and her family. She does touch on the war now and then but not as much as I had hoped for. Granted this book was basically just a compilation of her blog This book was blah, I did not care for it at all.
