I'm a sucker for a novel in verse and this one did not disappoint! Sports, middle school drama, a loving family-- this has it all.
From failed football tryouts to helping the new Syrian refugee student, seventh-grader Kareem attempts to navigate the social complexities of seventh grade, which are further complicated when his mother is unable to return home from Syria due to an executive order.

I'm the lucky librarian who gets to choose all the library's kids, teen and audiovisual materials. That means I read reviews for a living and my "to read" list is never-ending! When I'm not reading kids books, I dive into culinary cozies and thrillers. I'm a runner who loves to bake, and I'm a Disney kid at heart.
