Description
In 2002—just after 9/11—sixteen-year-old Shirin begins at yet another school, bracing herself for the stereotypes and suspicion that follow her as a Muslim girl. When she meets Ocean James, a new friendship opens a door to being seen for who she is, not what others assume. As the world feels increasingly volatile, Shirin must navigate identity, belonging, and the quiet courage it takes to claim space in a place that keeps trying to define her. Blending intimate emotional realism with Tahereh Mafi’s signature lyrical, fast-moving prose, this novel explores prejudice, connection, and the transformative power of understanding.
