"You forget. You forget you don't really exist here, that this isn't your home."

Since emigrating from Bangladesh, fourteen-year-old Nadira and her family have been living in New York City on expired visas, hoping to realize their dream of becoming legal U.S. citizens. But after 9/11, everything changes. Suddenly being Muslim means you are dangerous -- a suspected terrorist.

When Nadira's father is arrested and detained at the U.S.-Canadian border, Nadira and her older sister, Aisha, are told to carry on as if everything is the same. The teachers at Flushing High don't ask any questions, but Aisha falls apart. Nothing matters to her anymore -- not even college.

It's up to Nadira to be the strong one and bring her family back together again.

Tolles Buch...

Reviewed in Germany on 25 April 2014

Verified Purchase

... einfach zu lesen und eine gute Geschichte!
Ich persönlich (auf dem Gymnasium in der 12.Klasse) musste kein Wort nachschlagen.. Es war leicht verständlich bzw aus dem Kontext erkennbar..
Auch das Thema fand ich gut. Man liest nicht immer Bücher über das Thema Immigration.
Was ich auch toll fand war, dass die Autorin reale Ereignisse als Vorlage für das Buch genommen hat.

die Story ist so ausgekaut (illegaler Aufenthalt, Vorurteile wegen
des moslemischen Hintergrundes), kleines Hascherl, das unbedingt
Ärztin werden will.
Naja.

Great book

Reviewed in the United States on 23 November 2020

Verified Purchase

The book touches a lot about how the Muslim culture struggled after the case of 9/11 and the discrimination that they had to go through during that time. The book takes you into the life of a family that is going through the struggles of immigration and how they are trying to make a better life for themselves. The book shows the very rough patches that they go through with poverty as well. In the end, I think this book would be a very good read to young adults to teach them about discrimination and racism that is going on throughout the world and see a different side of what people from other countries have to go though to have the same luxuries and joys as other Americans.

Excellent Read

Reviewed in the United States on 11 May 2017

This is a story that will get everyone thinking and analyzing American culture and beliefs. This Muslim family feels they need to seek asylum in Canada because they are in the U.S. illegally. Like many, they entered the country legally and just stayed beyond the expiration of their visas. This story of how many people live in this country is both sad and hopeful throughout. It is certainly a read I recommend to all middle and high school age students.

Lesson Learned

My son had to read this book for school, this would be his first grade of the school year. He was struggling keeping interested in the book, so I read the book myself. I think the book was really good. Nadira of course became my favorite character. Her strength, love and respect for her family...... Wonderful.
