What I'm reading: Kiffe Kiffe Demain

Kiffe Kiffe Demain is a book by the French author Faïza Guène. It combines two of my passions: French and reading. The book is about a Muslim girl named Doria from the Maghreb region of Africa (Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria), who is now living in Paris with her mum. Doria feels excluded at school because she is Algerian and not French, she also feels rejected by her father who has left her mum.

Kiffe Kiffe in French means 'same old, don't really care' and this is Doria's attitude in the beginning of the book. What I find most interesting is feeling part of her story, as her attitude towards life and her ambitions slowly change.

Tell me about a book that you have read which has really affected your own life.

  8. I have read a book called Wonder by RJ Palacio and it is about a boy called August who has a illness and is worried about what people would say when he starts school. It affects me because sometimes he may get judged by how he looks.

    1. It sounds like the book contains an important lesson about treating everyone equally.

      Someone recommended this book to me actually. Now that you have recommended it too I feel like I should read it!
