(4) YA Afghan Australian teen Mina earns a scholarship to a private school where she faces daily macro- and micro-level racism and where she meets Michael, a white fellow student whose family vehemently opposes Muslim immigration into Australia. Fans of All American Boys will recognize the alternating-narrative structure and a crucially timely topic, though the author's own voice occasionally drowns out those of her characters.
