Maya Aziz, 17, lives in a small town and can’t wait to get out after she graduates. But her dreams of going to film school in New York City and maybe, just maybe, finding a boyfriend, are in direct contrast to her parents’. They would much prefer if she stayed nearby and matched with an Indian-American Muslim boy. When an act of violence shakes the country, Maya’s small town suddenly becomes unrecognizable to her as fear and hatred takeover. Maya needs to figure out how to stay true to herself, while respecting her parents, and finding her way in a world that doesn’t seem to want her. (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award 2019-2020)
