Since emigrating from Bangladesh, 14-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.

I had to read this book for school in this book was amazing. I really recommended if you’re trying to give a book a try!

Absolute masterpiece

Very insightful. This story gave me a look in the life of human beings, and not just a nationality. I can admit the fault in my judgmental attitude toward Muslim people. Especially after 911. I purposely read this story to aid in changing my heart in the path I’ve been on, of respecting people, no matter who they are and really trying to see them and not who I think they should be.

I love the storyline and the narration.

Very Good Story

Wonderful character rounding, beautiful story. Narration was on target, really helped the reader to "see" the story as it happened. This is a book I would read again.

Our country began to look harder at illegal immigrants even though many had lived here unnoticed for decades. This sudden change in policy altered the lives of this fictional family. i enjoyed the differences is the sisters and the lessons on strength through family.
