Book Review - Zara's Rules for Finding Hidden Treasure by Hena Khan

 

Zara loves taking bike rides with her friends. She is so excited to ride her new bike but, she is devastated when it is stolen from the park. Her parents refuse to get her a new bike unless she earns the money herself to buy it. Zara decides to start a business with her friends to sell unwanted knickknacks from their basements. Zara is excited when her business is a hit with the neighbors but, after a mistake she ends up having to shutter her budding business.

I thought the book was a good read and had a few enjoyable moments. It was fun to watch Zara learn from her mistakes and grow. The book had themes of religion, working together, being fair, being persistent,  and taking personal responsibility. It was also interesting to read how Zara helped the people around her grow from her mistake. The book is a delightful read for children of all ages with an important message of accountability while learning about different faiths.

From the beloved author of Amina’s Voice comes the second book in the delightful Zara’s Rules middle grade series following Zara as she starts her own business!

Zara lives for bike rides with her friends—so when her shiny, brand-new bike goes missing from the park one day, she’s crushed. After her parents insist she earn the money for another one herself, Zara’s determined to start a business. But what kind? A lemonade stand? Not profitable enough. Selling painted rocks? Not enough customers.

Zara’s starting to get discouraged when she and her friend Naomi finally come up with the perfect idea: The Treasure Wagon, a roving garage sale that unloads knickknacks from the Saleem family basement and makes money all at once! But when a mix-up gets Zara in hot water again, will she have to give up everything she’s earned toward her new bike?
