MS, HS - ADVISABLE

When a Muslim boy is arrested at a high school on suspicion of terrorist affiliations, growing racial tensions divide the student population. This book was very interesting. You get to see the view points of people on either side of the racial boundary, and what happens when people start to separate and judge one another.

It was very good once I got into it and grasped what was going on. I liked the viewpoints and how there were so many things to relate to. Pretty good but you should fill up on ESSENTIAL books first.
