What a sweet touching book that explains the complexities Muslim kids face in majority white communities.
Two points where the story became unbelievable to me:
1) I do wonder what it would be like if Zara and Zeesh lived in a more diverse neighborhood and if the racist experiences they've faced are quite that direct? Only curious because in my own personal experience, it's the insidious experiences that hurt more.
2) And the parents really let the kids roam everywhere on the resort??? Muslim parents??? Really???
