Description
Twelve-year-old Yasmeen Khoury moves to San Antonio with her family and struggles to fit in. Her classmates are different from her friends back home, and she feels like an outsider. But when she meets her neighbor Ayelet Cohen, a first-generation Israeli American, Yasmeen finds someone who understands what it's like to have parents' ideas of home be far away. As the two girls grow closer, they face challenges that make them question their sense of belonging. When Yasmeen's grandmother moves in after her home in Jerusalem is destroyed, Yasmeen and Ayelet must navigate the complexities of their own heritage and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Can these two girls find common ground and learn that peace begins with understanding each other? This powerful coming-of-age novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and friendship as Yasmeen and Ayelet discover that there's more that brings them together than might tear them apart.
