(3) YA This timely, tautly written political thriller explores unsettling issues surrounding prejudice. Fifteen-year-old Sami Sabiri, a Muslim, is bullied, but his school troubles are relatively minor: his home has been raided and ransacked by the FBI and his father jailed for terrorist collaboration. Sami daringly strikes out to learn the truth; his adventures provide fast-paced, provocative (if occasionally credulity-stretching) reading.
