Amina struggles with transitioning to middle school, shifting friend groups, and figuring out who she is. These are issues all 6th graders face when they start middle school, so the story is very relatable to people from all different cultures.
It all blows up as Amina accidentally betrays a friend, overhears a religious disagreement between her conservative uncle and her less conservative father that devastates her, and her mosque is targeted by racists.
This is a great middle grades read, and I can't wait to read the follow up novel.
