This is an adorable middle grade graphic novel about sibling relationships and fitting in. The art was just lovely, and it was great how Zara and Zeeshan both had such different passions but end up learning more about the other by the end. There's also a lot of commentary about being Muslim in America and the struggles they have with that. It was just an overally lovely time.
Graphic: Bullying, Racism, Islamophobia
Moderate: Xenophobia, Religious bigotry
