Powerful book about being Iranian, an immigrant, a creative, a thinker, and probably a kid with undiagnosed ADHD. The format was interesting but definitely felt some confusion on timing, place, and some characters (there are a lot!). However, this is a great book on the power of storytelling and how mythology shapes our own stories and purposes.
