Description
A powerful coming-of-age novel in verse tells the story of Kareem, a seventh-grade Syrian American boy navigating middle school. He faces struggles both big and small, from friendships to football, as he tries to find his place. Kareem's life is complicated by his heritage and the challenges that come with it. A new student at school, a Syrian refugee, is met with hostility, forcing Kareem to confront the difficulties of his own identity. Just when things seem impossible, an unexpected opportunity arises, but with conditions that test Kareem's values. As Kareem navigates the complexities of middle school and family life, he must find a way to step up, build confidence, and make difficult choices. This heartfelt novel explores the beauty and hope found in the midst of uncertainty.
