This is a really powerful story focusing on tough themes themes of islamophobia and homophobia. I truly felt for Zara as she faced this hatred daily, an unfortunately realistic portrayal. And I appreciated the discussion of anger - letting it fuel you in a productive manner rather than in sheer rage. This book also discusses the inane intricacies of the US's immigration policies in relation to Zara and her family in a way that's completely approachable. Overall this is a perfect book for a budding social justice warrior that'll leave you craving frozen yogurt.
