Rebellions are built on hope.
Set in a horrifying near-future United States, 17-year-old Layla Amin and her parents are forced into an internment camp for Muslim American citizens.
With the help of newly made friends also trapped within the internment camp, her boyfriend on the outside, and an unexpected alliance, Layla begins a journey to fight for freedom, leading a revolution against the internment camp's director and his guards.
Heart-racing and emotional, Internment challenges listeners to fight complicit silence that exists in our society today.
"A riveting and cautionary tale. Internment urges us to speak up and speak out, to ask questions and demand answers, and when those answers prove unsatisfactory, to resist." (Stacey Lee, award-winning author of Outrun the Moon)

Critic reviews
"Taking on Islamophobia and racism in a Trump-like America, Ahmed's magnetic, gripping narrative written in a deeply humane and authentic tone, is attentive to the richness and complexity of the social ills at the heart of the book." (Kirkus, starred review)
"[A] poignant, necessary story that paints a very real, very frank picture of hatred and ignorance, while also giving readers and marginalized individuals hope." (Booklist, starred review)
"An unsettling and important book for our times." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
Featured Article: Excellent Dystopian Listens Like The Hunger Games
The popularity of Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games trilogy and its film adaptations has paved the way for so many great dystopian books and series in YA, imagining harrowing worlds where teens must fight for survival and define what life means to them. The enduring popularity of the series has proven that dystopian stories and the sometimes-dark futures they imagine are endlessly fascinating to our imaginations.

That all being said I am curious how much more in-depth and visceral Ahmed could have gotten if she had written this book for older teens or even adults. I realize the point was to make the story more accessible but I feel like maybe it just could have packed a bit more of a punch if it was set for just a slightly older audience but again that is all just more of a personal curiosity than a real critique.
My only really "problem" with this story was the underlying romance... I know I am always complaining about romances popping up in places they don't belong but in the case of this book it just sort of cheapens the whole story for me. I felt that the romance not only didn't fit but it was just added to appease people. The romance felt like an after though in some places and in others it undermined her whole purpose. If I have said this once I have said it a thousand times, stop adding in a romance to a book it has no business in! It may gain you a few readers but it cheapens the overall experience of your story. If it was not for that romance I would have given this book a 4.5 or even 4.7 stars.
All that being said I would recommend this book to anyone. This book is so timely and its something we all need to consider. This book really made me step back and wonder not only what I would do but what I can do now. Like I said in the beginning overall this book did exactly what it was meant to do. It made me stop and consider.
