"Boy From Three Worlds" by Mirza is a heart-tugging tale that hits all the right notes. Meet Waris, a 13-year-old soccer fanatic with dreams of making it big. Just when he thinks he's got it all figured out, his strict dad decides it's time for a seven-month trip to Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Bye-bye, soccer dreams; hello, culture shock!



Waris is devastated to leave behind his mom, friends, and the soccer team in the U.S. But the trip turns out to be more than just a drag. It's a wild ride of self-discovery and adventure. Mirza does an incredible job of showing the push and pull between Waris and his dad, making you feel every bit of the tension and eventual growth.



But here's where it gets good: Waris starts making new friends and having wild adventures. There's even a mysterious housekeeper who adds some intrigue. These experiences transform Waris, turning him into a brave young hero who's not afraid to face challenges head-on.



The highlight? Waris rescues a boy trapped across a dangerous border, showing how much he's grown. By the end, he even manages to mend his relationship with his dad, resolving some deep-rooted issues



"Boy From Three Worlds" is a fantastic read about growing up, facing fears, and understanding family. It's a journey that leaves you rooting for Waris all the way.
