The Bubble Kids is a completely engrossing and refreshing read." -Clarion Reviews "Chowdhry does a very good job of conveying the kids' complex sets ...

The Bubble Kids is a completely engrossing and refreshing read." -Clarion Reviews "Chowdhry does a very good job of conveying the kids' complex sets of circumstances as she paints a vivid portrait of innocent Pakistani people facing the terror of a fringe, fundamentalist group. This is a perspective not often seen, and the author balances its elements well by using characters from diverse backgrounds. A well-balanced and often powerful story recommended for younger teens and history buffs." -Kirkus Reviews
