 This is okay but it did come out in 2008 and definitely feels like a YA that came out in 2008. It’s a bit random and disjointed, and I didn’t love the writing style - I mean I guess it feels like how a young child would narrate something, which it is, but it’s a bit ‘this happened and then this happened’, and just generally not the kind of writing I enjoy. 

But it is interesting to see this style of story with a Palestinian/Egyptian MC and not just a western setting.
