It's 2002, a year after 9/11, and Shirin has just started at yet another school. It's an extremely turbulent time for the world, but also for someone like Shirin, a sixteen-year-old Muslim girl who's tired of being stereotyped.

Very unexpectedly awesome! submitted by flemingj on June 15, 2019, 3:17pm Hajabi breakdancer experiencing first love right after 9/11. Such a pleasure to read about such a strong young woman and supportive family.

Unexpected and engaging submitted by A2AE on July 2, 2019, 3:28pm I'll admit that I picked this book up because of the colorful cover, but the engaging writing style and unexpected story about a break dancing, hijab wearing teenager who is scared to draw too much attention to herself but manages to steal the heart of the school basketball star was awesome.

Very surprising submitted by riyas_khareem on July 10, 2022, 8:43pm I honestly picked the book because the cover looked awsome but what was inside was even more awsome and I actually cried at parts fo the book which when I do I know that it's great.

Sweet and original submitted by audreyhalversen on July 13, 2022, 12:17pm My husband bought this for me because he liked the cover, so I had no idea what to expect, but I found it to be surprisingly delightful!
