For most kids in the United States, 6th grade means a new school...middle school. There are lots of changes not only with school, but with friends...both old and new. This is no different for Amina. It's a new year at a new school and Amina wants things to be the same. Her best friend, Soojin, has other ideas. Amina worries about her friendship. She experiences some jealousy over a possible new friend, and she feels fear and hurt over an unimaginable action.

For many readers, if they have any knowledge of the Muslim community, it is limited. The author, Hena Khan, does a beautiful job illustrating what daily life in America could be like for those in the Muslim Community.

My middle school self would love this book because there's girl drama, family drama, and environmental drama.
