I do have to warn that there are some HP references-mainly to the houses and using them for personality traits, like the Meyers Briggs deal. It's sprinkled throughout the book, so just be advised.

By fate, happen-stance, two young teenagers come across upon the same art-the Marvels of Creations and the Oddities of Existence and decide to create their own journals to record marvels and oddities in their lives. Adam focusing on the marvel and Zayneb focusing on the oddities-and in the same vein-they meet once at airport, the next while she’s on vacation in his hometown.

I really love the opposite attract going on between these two Adams like to keep the peace-keep a quiet life going while keeping his diagnosis from his dad. Zayneb is all fury, fighting the wrongs of the world which does loudly and gets her in trouble.

And what I love about this trope is have characters learn from one another, Adams learns to speak up for himself despite the changes it may brings. Zayneb learns not to give up her fury but focus it not just using anger but other emotions to help her cause. There’s a poignant moment when Zayneb tells her Mom about what’s happened to her, but focusing on her sorrow rather than her anger which is so moving and touching.

So I recommend this for anyone that feels like they need to keep the peace or feel unheard in their fights for justice.

This book was very informative about MS and about the hate that Muslims receive because of their religion (especially in America). I liked learning about another culture and really liked getting to know our main characters, Adam and Zayneb. Zayneb is a very righteous character and will fight for what is right. Adam is really caring and kind. They're kinda opposites attract, tho they both share the same journal based of Marvels and Oddities. I'm really proud of Zayneb and her friends for being able to

take down Fencer, and everyone following Zayneb out of the classroom to protest against Fencer

. Though I was not really into the book and had to put it down quite a few times. However, I think it's a good book to learn more about another culture and a medical condition.
