The vibrant colors blended together in perfect harmony. The girls on the cover of the book captured my attention and I found myself wanting to know more about them. That is the reason I started to read More to the Story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More to the Story is about how sisters, Jam, Bisma, Aleeza, and Maryanm, face a hard time where their dad is in a different country working and Bisma  has just gotten diagnosed with lymphoma, a type of cancer. This book is about the relationship between the sisters and Ali, their cousin while they discover themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jam&#8217;s story enraptured me. I loved her passion for journeling and her interesting ideas. I especially love her relationship with Travis and how he keeps shooting down her ideas. Bisma deserves a big round of applause. She managed to stay brave and calm during a hard time for her. Aleeza and Maryanam don&#8217;t appear much in the story, but their bond surprises me to no ends.In any fights, it usually ends up being Bisma and Jam vs. Aleeza and Maryanm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve read many of Hena Khan&#8217;s literature before and I&#8217;ve always enjoyed them. I especially like how she uses diversity in middle grade fiction. Amina&#8217;s Voice will always be one of my favorite books, as I love Amina, Emily, and Soojin&#8217;s story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/More-to-the-story-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/More-to-the-story-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/More-to-the-story-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/More-to-the-story-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/More-to-the-story-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/More-to-the-story.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Mint Girl Reads More to the Story by Hena Khan.
