โฆ Synopsis
At a time when we are all asking questions about identity, grief, and how to stand up for what is right, this book by the author of A Thousand Questions will hit home with young readers who love Hena Khan and Varian Johnsonโor anyone struggling to understand recent U.S. history and how it still affects us today. ย
Yusuf Azeem has spent all his life in the small town of Frey, Texasโand nearly that long waiting for the chance to participate in the regional robotics competition, which he just knows he can win.
Only, this year is going to be more difficult than he thought. Because this year is the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, an anniversary that has everyone in his Muslim community on edge.
With โNever Forgetโ banners everywhere and a hostile group of townspeople protesting the new mosque, Yusuf realizes that the countryโs anger from two decades ago hasnโt gone away. Can he hold onto his joyโand his friendshipsโin the face of heartache and prejudice?
