Editorial Reviews
“The events of the novel are powerful enough to engage readers’ attention and will make them pause to consider the effects of a legal practice that preys on prejudice and fear.” —Publishers Weekly
“Narrator Abby Craden expertly depicts family, friends, and cold officials…Craden captures everything the reader’s eye would see on the printed page—especially that aside or extra word that adds further clarity to the written word. The moving story illustrates people lives affected by our nation’s immigration policies. Craden’s warm and insightful delivery adds to the learning experience for young listeners.” —AudioFile
“A moving first-person, present-tense narrative…The teen voice is wonderfully immediate, revealing Nadira’s mixed-up feelings as well as the diversity in her family and the Muslim community…Readers will feel the heartbreak, prejudice, kindness, and fear.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Inspiring and timely, this novel explores one of the most difficult issues facing the United States today in a compelling and highly readable way.” —Children’s Literature
