Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood

by Marjane Satrapi

Summary: Persepolis is an autobiography (true story of the author's life) about her childhood in Iran during the Iran-Iraq war. The events she witnesses are truly shocking, and this is an interesting inside view on a part of our world that many of us know very little about.

My thoughts: This book deals with very serious topics, and is a high school book. If you like Maus, by Art Spiegelman, check this one out at the public library.
