Description
Internment is a heart-racing and emotional novel that challenges readers to confront complicit silence in our society today.
In a horrifying near-future United States, seventeen-year-old Layla Amin and her parents are forced into an internment camp for Muslim American citizens. With the help of newly made friends also trapped within the camp, her boyfriend on the outside, and an unexpected alliance, Layla begins a journey to fight for freedom.
Rebellions are built on hope, and Internment sets itself apart with its terrifying, thrilling, and urgent portrayal of life in a dystopian internment camp. This powerful story will keep you on the edge of your seat as Layla leads a revolution against the camp's Director and his guards.
