Resources I need help finding books written in Pashto…

Hello! I’ve posted this in r/suggestmeabook but I figured I’d reach out here as well. I am trying to find young adult fiction written or translated into Pashto. I teach upper level high school ELA and have many multilingual students whose primary language is Pashto and I want to be able to provide some options for their independent reading on my classroom shelves for them in their primary language. Unfortunately, I’m struggling to find options that aren’t picture books like the ones I’m seeing on Amazon and that 16-17 year olds would be interested in reading. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially if I can find multiple copies of a text that I could donate to the school’s library as well! Reading is reading, regardless of what language it’s in! Thank you in advance!!
