About this listen
“The bighearted, wildly charming, painfully real love story I’ve been waiting for.” (Becky Albertalli, New York Times best-selling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda)
“Heartfelt and powerful.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
From William C. Morris Award Finalist S.K. Ali comes an unforgettable romance that is part The Sun Is Also a Star mixed with Anna and the French Kiss, following two Muslim teens who meet during a spring break trip.
A marvel: something you find amazing. Even ordinary-amazing. Like potatoes - because they make French fries happen. Like the perfect fries Adam and his mom used to make together.
An oddity: whatever gives you pause. Like the fact there are hateful people in the world. Like Zayneb’s teacher, who won’t stop reminding the class how “bad” Muslims are.
But Zayneb, the only Muslim in class, isn’t bad. She’s angry.
When she gets suspended for confronting her teacher and he begins investigating her activist friends, Zayneb heads to her aunt’s house in Doha, Qatar, for an early start to spring break.
Fueled by the guilt of getting her friends in trouble, she resolves to try out a newer, “nicer” version of herself in a place where no one knows her.
Then her path crosses with Adam’s.
Since he got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in November, Adam’s stopped going to classes, intent, instead, on perfecting the making of things. Intent on keeping the memory of his mom alive for his little sister.
Adam’s also intent on keeping his diagnosis a secret from his grieving father.
Alone, Adam and Zayneb are playing roles for others, keeping their real thoughts locked away in their journals.
Until a marvel and an oddity occurs....
Marvel: Adam and Zayneb meeting.
Oddity: Adam and Zayneb meeting.

On the cusp of thirty, she’s still living at home with her brothers and parents in the Golden Crescent neighbourhood of Toronto, resolutely ignoring her mother’s unsubtle pleas to get married already. While Nada has a good job as an engineer, it’s a far cry from realizing her start-up dreams for her tech baby, Ask Apa, the app that launched with a whimper instead of a bang because of a double-crossing business partner. Nothing in her life has turned out the way it was supposed to, and Nada feels like a failure. Something needs to change.

Isaiah Wilson is, on the surface, a town troublemaker, but is hiding that he is an avid reader and secret poet, never leaving home without his journal. Angel Hill is a loner, mostly disregarded by her peers as a goody-goody. Her father is dying, and her family's financial situation is in turmoil. Though they've attended the same schools, Isaiah never noticed Angel as anything but a dorky, Bible-toting church girl. Then their English teacher offers them a job on her mobile library.

Story
As a boy, Elias learned the hard way what happens when you don’t heed the old tales. Nine years after his lack of superstition got his father killed, he’s grown into a young man of piety, with a deep reverence for the hallowed sea and her fickle favor. As stories of the fisherman’s son who has managed to escape the most deadly of storms spreads from port to port, his devotion to the myths and creeds has given him the reputation of the luckiest bastard to sail the Narrows.

Story
It is 1992, and Bihac, Amra's hometown, is a multicultural city with Muslims, Croats, and Serbs. But when tensions escalate, the Serbs turn on their Bosnian neighbors. The Serbs control the army, and now they have peaceful Bihac surrounded. Soon Amra and her family are dealing with starvation and the threat of brutal violence; school, friendships, and the attentions from a new boy have to take a back seat to finding food and the tragic fallout from rising bigotry and ethnic hatred. Through it all, a stray cat, Maci, serves as a guardian spirit to the entire family.

Story
In this book, the impact of wildfire, a wayward priest, or a mysterious disappearance ricochet across communities, threading through stories. Here, ordinary actions such as ice skating or going to church reveal hidden truths. One choice threatens a lifelong friendship. Siblings save each other. Rescue and second chances are possible, and so is revenge. On the surface, it seems that nothing ever happens in these towns. But Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock shows that underneath that surface, teenagers' lives blaze with fury, with secrets, and with love so strong it burns a path to the future.

A Tale of Navigation
This story covers a lot of navigation: love, loss, hate, war, religion, moral code, and sense of self. This journey is covered by journal entries of Adam and Zayneb, but they stray from a typical journal format because they review a moments' marvels and oddities. The protagonists are thoughtful and dedicated teens that challenge and inspire each other regularly in a relatively short amount of time, which creates a good foundation for their romance. Their religion plays a prominent role in the story, but not in a straying from it, but rather their refreshing commitment to it. A wonderful listen, I enjoyed most every minute of it.

A Beautiful Story
This book was heartbreaking, hopeful and beautiful. The uncertainty of senior year/first year of college is made even more fraught by Zaneb’s battles against Islamaphobia and the injustices all around her and Adam’s battles with a new diagnosis. They each find an anchor in a Marvels and Oddities journal and the story is told primarily through their entries.

SO VERY TRUE AND REAL
Bismillaah
I’m so glad that I listened to this story. It was a great listen and made us aware of what’s going on in our community and in the world although many of us are home with our little ones and busy all the time. I made it that much better to know that most of what I heard were true events.

Really enjoyed and would definitely recommend
Great read and I am excited to add the book to my personal classroom library, as well as suggest it as a title to be added to the school library. I love the depth of the characters, and the fact that the romance is a part of the story, but there’s a lot of human growth in it, and I think that’s important in a young adult book, especially to show the ever-changing development of characters. .

Love from Adam to Zainab
Who else googled marvels and oddities journal? Just me. Okay (=^▽^=) Anyway, when I first saw the cover I felt happy but worried, blue in literature means illness and it also means someone will die by the end of the book, but the cover was also romantic and a Muslim girl is on the cover! I liked the issues addressed in the book, from Burkinis and how people react to them, to converting to Islam, to racism against muslims, to people from different nationalities religions and colors, to Zainab's fight for justice for herself and others, I think she would be an amazing lawyer. The book is good, but for some reason I didn't love it as much as I hoped I would.
