(4) 4-6 Aliya, a Muslim, wends her way through the typical middle-school struggles until another Muslim girl moves to town and challenges Aliya's assumptions about the importance of fitting in. The characters are sometimes a bit flat, but Zia's exploration of Aliya's faith, confidence, and social anxieties feels authentic and gives readers a comfortable place to develop their understanding of another culture. Glos.
