Moving and timely, this novel in verse will captivate you, even as it makes you want to cry. There's humor, too, but mostly this story about the 2017 Muslim ban and how it affects one family, Kareem's family, will touch your heart. His mother has to ...more

A touching story in verse. Even though it takes place in 1986 (after the Titanic was found on the ocean floor and divers explored the wreck), its relevance for today is obvious. Cayenne has to contend with class differences (the haves vs the have-not ...more

“Besides which, I really ought to send her a book instead. Though she’s not much of a reader.” She paused. “Evidence as to her character.”
