Description:
1 v. (unpaged) : ill. ; 21 cm.
Summary:
Nisrin
is a 13-year-old Bangladeshi-American girl living in Milwaukie, Oregon in 2002. As she nears the end of eighth grade, she gives a presentation for World Culture Day about Bangladesh while wearing a traditional cultural dress. On her way home, she is the victim of a hate crime when a man violently attacks her for wearing a headscarf. Deeply traumatized by the experience,
Nisrin
spends the summer depressed and isolated. Other than weekly therapy,
Nisrin
doesn't leave the house until fall arrives and it'
s
time for her to start freshman year at a new school. The night before class starts,
Nisrin
makes a decision. She tells her family she's going to start wearing
hijab
, much to their dismay. Her mother and grandparent'
s
shocked and angry reactions confuse her -- but they only strengthen her resolve. This choice puts
Nisrin
on a path to not only discover more about Islam, but also her family'
s
complicated relationship with the religion, and the reasons they left Bangladesh in the first place. On top of everything else, she's struggling to fit in at school -- her
hijab
makes her a target for students and faculty alike. But with the help from old friends and new,
Nisrin
is starting to figure out what really makes her happy.
